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 ...

With age, genes on the previously inactive second X chromosome in female mice increasingly escape silencing, doubling from 3% to 6% overall and reaching up to 9% in some organs.

The cancer cells of some men feature a striking mutation: their Y chromosome is missing altogether. Now, tantalizing research suggests that this mutation can spread ‘contagiously’ from tumour ...

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 ...

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, according ...

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 ...

Superman syndrome, also known as 47, XYY, is a condition classified as a chromosomal aneuploidy (which is an abnormality in chromosome structure and/or number) in which males have an additional Y ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual ...

DNA-templated organic synthesis enables the translation of DNA sequences into synthetic small-molecule libraries suitable for in vitro selection. Previously, we described the DNA-templated multistep ...

Leaked medical report states controversial Olympic boxer has 'male' chromosomes. This latest revelation contradicts the claims of IOC spokesman Mark Adams. Author of the article: ...

Background: Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) accounts for 20–30% of adult ALL cases and is characterized by high mortality and aggressive progression. Standard ...
