In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through ...

Another protein central to this process is NuMA, which is essential for spindle pole organisation. Normally, NuMA gathers at ...

A study led by EPFL shows that Urolithin A, a natural compound, can abolish high anxiety in rats by repairing mitochondrial function in their brain cells, specifically in the nucleus accumbens. The ...

The longevity of naked mole rats may partly be due to them having a variant of a key protein that boosts DNA repair – a ...

Scientists identified two types of brain cells, neurons and microglia, that are altered in people with depression. Through ...

"For the first time, scientists have shown that DNA from ordinary body cells can be placed into an egg, activated, and made ...
