Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin. During ...

In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G 1, S, G 2, and M. The S or synthesis phase is when DNA ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

A combined CyTOF and computational modeling study shows that NKG2D signaling and degranulation in human NK cells depend on ...

New research shows that the hepatitis B virus X protein T118N mutation, common in Indonesia, increases Cyclin E expression ...

Bacterial cells do not wake up one morning and decide to become parents. But there is a point in their cell cycle—after growing sufficiently and replicating their genomes—when they split in two, ...

In a tale of identities as divergent as "The Prince and the Pauper," a well-known cancer-causing gene also influences cells in a zombie-like state meant to prevent cancer. Scientists at Sanford ...

For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. The lab-made synthetic cell ...
