Every cell in the human body faces a chronic challenge: protecting its DNA. Whenever cells divide, their genetic material ...

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 ...

Two cancer drugs appeared almost identical in conventional screening, but a new 3D Cell Painting method exposed striking ...

During cell division, a safety mechanism called the NoCut checkpoint helps delay the final stages of division when DNA bridges are present. The researchers found that this delay allows ESCRT-III ...

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 ...

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 ...

Because DNA bridges occur infrequently, the researchers used two approaches to study them. They first analysed large numbers of cells to identify naturally occurring DNA bridges. They also temporarily ...

A mouse embryo has now been made to write its own family tree. A recording device called the DNA Typewriter, built in Jay Shendure’s laboratory at the University of Washington, kept a running log of ...

An animal chromatin-diminution review examines measured genome and nuclear changes in copepods while treating the functions ...

Scientists have traced the development of a mouse embryo from its first two cells to the formation of organs, using a ...

Every time a cell divides, it must accurately copy and distribute its DNA between two new cells. However, in some cases, chromosomes do not fully separate, leaving behind thin strands of DNA known as ...
