Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...

Cells are crowded with proteins and nucleic acids. A new study measures subcellular densities across organisms to uncover how ...

CRISPRgenee is a new method that combines gene silencing and cutting to improve loss-of-function studies in human cells.

Clinging to the ends of filaments called microtubules, the glue they discovered ensures the nucleus is correctly positioned for cell division. The findings, published in Nature Cell Biology, explain ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

Mutations in the MAGEL2 gene, which cause Schaaf-Yan syndrome (SYS) —an ultra-rare disease that affects neuronal and cognitive development— generate truncated, non-functional proteins that tend to ...

In their quest for safe, mass-producible artificial blood, geneticists have long struggled. Our limited knowledge of genetic ...
