At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...

A research group is the first in the world to succeed in constructing artificial cell nuclei by injecting purified DNA solution instead of sperm into living mouse eggs. Their findings are published in ...

Cell division, a process fundamental to life, still holds surprises. Researchers from the University of Zurich and the ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...

Direct interactions between the cell’s powerhouses and nuclear pores might channel energy straight into the nucleus, fuelling cell division and differentiation. Menendez-Montes et al. investigated ...

The Human Genome Project was launched in 1990, preceded by decades of breakthroughs in genetics. It eventually gave us a ...

Our blood contains cells called 'red blood cells' that carry oxygen throughout the body.Red blood cells are essential for ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in Science Immunology shows that in some white blood cells, this genetic storage ...

Iron is an essential micronutrient, but excess iron can damage cells and increase cancer risk. While many cells die from iron-induced oxidative stress, a subset survives and may become cancerous.

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...
