Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

In a nutshell Female cells randomly use either the maternal or paternal X chromosome—this study shows that relying more ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden made an unexpected discovery while investigating genetically unique women.

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they have now found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X chromosome, the animals’ memory and ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more likely to have strokes or develop dementia and late-life depression, ...
