A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

High-resolution imaging shows how MraZ breaks and deforms to attach to repeated DNA sequences, activating the gene cluster ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is fundamental to biology. Every cell inherits the same protein and DNA building blocks that make up the cell it ...

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...

There is variability in when and how cells divide during the development of embryos. While researchers traditionally believed this variability was an obstacle that needed to be regulated, a group now ...

Every time a stem cell divides, one daughter cell remains a stem cell while the other takes off on its own developmental journey. But both daughter cells require specific and different cellular ...

As cells divide, they must copy all of their chromosomes once and only once, or chaos would ensue. How do they do it? By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jul 7, 2023 6:00 PM EDT This article ...

Researchers have discovered that before cells start to divide, they toss waste products. Using a new method they developed for measuring the dry mass of cells, the researchers found cells suddenly ...
