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 Telford's Exotic Zoo, life found a way. A casque-headed iguana has given birth to eight babies at the Shropshire wildlife park – without any contact with a male, via a phenomenon called ...

An artificial “superfood” that provides essential nutrients for bees results in colonies producing much more larvae, suggesting it could help tackle the global decline in honeybees. Bees need to eat ...

Viruses insert “transposable elements” into the genetic material of host cells to replicate. While cells’ defense mechanisms have learned to silence most of these viral insertions, a few “jumping ...

Birds do it, a few bees get to do it – but how did sexual reproduction evolve in the first place? An evolutionary model suggests that it could have started as a way for two cells to pool their ...

The film "Mitosis" explores the process of cell division, specifically focusing on mitosis, which is essential for the growth and reproduction of living organisms. It illustrates how a single cell ...

NIJMEGEN, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aiosyn, a pioneering innovator in AI-powered pathology software for cancer and kidney disease, has announced that its algorithm for mitotic figure counting has ...

You might think flowers don’t have much choice about who they mate with, given they are rooted to the ground and can’t move. But when scientists from Nagoya, Japan used powerful microscopes to study ...

Individual cells divide through a process called mitosis, during which the cell's copied DNA is separated between two resulting daughter cells. Despite recent advances in cell biology, the mechanism ...
