Cells that double their entire genome do not all share the same fate. New research published in the Proceedings of the ...
Cells that acquire a doubled genome after a failed division step survive and proliferate far more effectively than cells left ...
For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
Physical pressure can stop cancer cells from growing large enough to divide, revealing why squeezed tumors may stall.
DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes. These histones carry numerous chemical modifications that act as molecular ...
A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...
In a new paper published in Cancer Research, researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have shown that targeting a protein called TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3) can ...
