All life is connected in a vast family tree. Every organism exists in relationship to its ancestors, descendants, and cousins ...

To the point DNA packaging: DNA exists in different states in order to fulfill different functions in the cell nucleus. A research team has now discovered a molecular switch that controls the ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the ...

Scientists have solved a decade-long question about the mechanism that preserves the centromere, the hub that ensures DNA divides correctly during cell division. The study, published in Science, ...

By considering the cell’s shape and the filaments’ curvature, the team demonstrated how the death of misaligned FtsZ filaments aids in forming the bacterial division ring.
