The loss of the Y chromosome in tumour cells is linked to poor outcomes for people with cancer 1, but this genetic alteration might also compromise immune cells that would otherwise fight the disease.

Unlike men, who carry one X and one Y chromosome, women have two X chromosomes in each cell. However, one of the two X chromosomes is effectively silenced. It folds into a compact structure known ...

Chromosome segregation occurs in mitosis and is the process by which the mitotic spindle separates the duplicated chromosomes into daughter cells. A unique Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites ...

When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss ...

In aging female mice, genes on the previously silenced second X chromosome become active again. This mechanism might also influence women's health later in life. The study is published in the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A new AI tool accurately predicts the 3D structure of chromosomes in individual cells, overcoming challenges of noisy and incomplete single-cell data. This ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During mitosis, centromeres serve as assembly sites for complex protein ...

A new paper published in Nature on June 4 shines light on how an enigmatic part of male aging—the loss of Y chromosomes—is connected with a higher risk of dying from cancer. In an analysis of ...

New Delhi, Jun 8 (PTI) The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed a plea filed by Resolution Professional of Think & Learn, which owns edtech brand Byju's, challenging an ...

Newly leaked test results prove that Olympic boxer Imane Khelif does have male chromosomes — after the International Olympic Committee dismissed the claims as “not legitimate” and let her ...

The document, which initially was published by 3 Wire Sports, summarizes the findings on the Algerian boxer as “abnormal,” stating: “Chromosome analysis reveals male karyotype.” ...
