Developmental reproducibility and robustness are critical for the survival of a species. Understanding the foundations of this robustness is, therefore, a question of fundamental importance and has ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

Some microbial lineages have undergone substantial genome reduction over evolutionary time, resulting in naturally evolved cells that reveal fundamental principles of cell biology under reduced ...

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 ...

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 ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...
