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 ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

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

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

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 ...

Danish researchers believe that everyone should monitor their blood folate levels. They argue that a deficiency in folic acid can severely impact the process of ...

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 ...
