Human cells have two copies of each chromosome, and this balance is essential for genes to be expressed in the appropriate ...

A metabolic enzyme also binds and unwinds RNA to promote translation of cell cycle genes. This dual role links energy status ...

Researchers created artificial kinetochore structures that reduce chromosome separation errors during meiosis in aging egg cells. By lowering microtubule pulling force, the approach helped maintain ...

On the flipside, if telomeres are too long, it can also spell trouble because cancer cells require long telomeres to become longer lived, ‘immortal,’” says Mia Levine, associate professor of biology ...

Some animals age in ways that look very different from the way humans and most other species age. A small group of creatures can slow aging dramatically or even reset parts of their life cycle.

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

In my clinical practice, many women planning pregnancy ask whether age can affect the health of their baby. Over the last few decades, it has become common for women to start families later because of ...
