Every time a cell divides, it must accurately copy and distribute its DNA between two new cells. However, in some cases, ...

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 ...

Our DNA is under constant threat. Chemicals, radiation and the everyday errors of cell division all damage it, and if left ...

Our DNA is constantly being packed and unpacked. And there is a good reason for this: depending on its packing state, it performs different functions in the cell nucleus. For most of its life – this ...

Researchers describe a newly observed role for the protein Cyclin Dependent Kinase 9 (CDK9) in regulating DNA repair during cellular division, where errors can become the origin of cancerous tumor ...

The cells in our bodies are constantly dividing. From embryonic development to adult life, cell division is necessary for tissue growth and renewal. During division, cells must duplicate their genetic ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular PhysiologyJul 10 2025 Reviewed 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 ...

If DNA bridges remain between chromosomes after cell division, chromosome segregation can be disrupted, leading to genetic instability and increasing the risk of cancer. Researchers at UNIST and the ...
