The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Most cell activity requires chemical energy. Respiration is the cellular process of releasing energy from food and storing it as ATP.

The interplay between aging and cellular senescence reveals insights into chronic inflammation and potential strategies for enhancing healthspan and longevity.

Viral contamination in cell cultures poses significant challenges, particularly due to the necessity for complex detection ...

When activated, the process identifies damaged proteins, dysfunctional mitochondria, and other cellular components that are no longer functioning optimally. These components are then engulfed in ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...
