An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...
Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks ...
Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...
Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...
Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role ...
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 ...
Biologists have long suspected that aging is not just a slow, inevitable fraying of our cells but a process governed by ...
