Researchers have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery. Called lipid nanoparticle ...

Scientists at Kyoto University have uncovered a hidden protein complex that organizes DNA in sperm stem cells, a discovery ...

Packing tightly the DNA at the wrong time can lead to severe consequences for the cell and for the organism – for example, uncontrolled DNA packing is associated with primary microcephaly. However, ...

In 2000, researchers discovered that mutations that inactivate a gene known as TRIM37 cause a developmental disease called ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer.

Because asymmetric cell division can cause cells to behave in ways cause them to metastasize, it change how we understand the division of cancerous cells and the spread of cancer, which could lead ...

DNA repair: A look inside the cell's 'repair café' Date: November 21, 2024 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the ...

Chemists induced a cell-like behavior in molecular assemblies called vesicles. They used a sacrificial chemical fuel to make the vesicles divide into smaller versions of themselves. While this process ...
