Cells that double their entire genome do not all share the same fate. New research published in the Proceedings of the ...

Cells that acquire a doubled genome after a failed division step survive and proliferate far more effectively than cells left ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

Keeping you up to date with the chemistry news that matters most. Published by the American Chemical Society.

Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis. If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally ...

The molecular choreography of DNA replication is a finely balanced process ensuring that genetic information is faithfully transmitted during cell division. Replication initiation begins with origin ...

Fluorescence microscopy illustrates immune cell–mediated extraction of nuclear DNA from dying cells, highlighting a newly identified process called nucleocytosis. Over the years, cell biology has ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or external stressors such as radiation or chemical ...

Yeast’s emergence as a model organism reshaped scientific discovery in cell biology, genetics, and more.

Damaged DNA can escape from one human cell and infiltrate another. Like prisoners tunneling out of jail, this DNA travels via tubelike structures between neighboring cells, scientists report May 19 in ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit ...
