Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the process, viruses leave behind remnants throughout the genetic material ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

Many cellular functions in the human body are controlled by biological droplets called Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets. These droplets, made of soft biological materials, exist inside ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have ...
