Cells that acquire a doubled genome after a failed division step survive and proliferate far more effectively than cells left ...
A cell copies all of its DNA, gears up to split in two, and then just… doesn’t. It sits there, swollen with a double genome, ...
A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...
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 ...
Yeast’s emergence as a model organism reshaped scientific discovery in cell biology, genetics, and more.
Cornell scientists have taken a major step toward developing a safe, reversible, long-acting and 100% effective nonhormonal male contraceptive, considered the holy grail of male contraception. A proof ...
A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...
