For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...
A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...
Prior to cell division, chromosomes are seemingly a jumbled mess. During cell division, parent cell chromosomes and their duplicates sort themselves out by condensing, becoming thousands of times more ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...
A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...
Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, plays a ...
