A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

CM A. Revanth Reddy directs decentralisation of Prajavani for efficient grievance redressal at local levels, enhancing ...

DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes.

It seems incredible to think that The Damned are celebrating their 50th anniversary tonight. At one point early in their career it seemed unlikely that they’d last 50 months. Yet here they are, at the ...

Recently, we came to understand that mitochondria could migrate between cells independent of cell division, a process termed horizontal or intercellular mitochondria transfer. 4 Intercellular ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...

In this valuable study, the authors examine the role of the cytoskeletal regulatory protein Abba in governing the process of cell genesis in the developing cortex. This study provides insights into ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...
