Researchers fused human iPS cells to create tetraploid lines whose derived cardiomyocytes show larger size, adult-like gene ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

The Regenerative Medicine Project at our institute is advancing therapeutic strategies for various diseases by introducing a ...

Whenever a cell divides, it has to split its chromosomes perfectly between two daughter cells, and even a single mistake can be disastrous. Now, researchers from Japan have found that one of the key ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Japanese research team has demonstrated that CRISPR-Cas9 can selectively remove the extra copy of chromosome 21 from cells ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a combination of ...

Robertsonian chromosomes are large chromosomes that form when the long arm of a chromosome breaks and fuses with another chromosome. They are the most common type of chromosome rearrangement in humans ...

Sex chromosomes drive how human cells respond to disease — including cancer, reveals new research. The study brings together growing evidence that the X and Y chromosomes do much more than just ...

Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 to remove the extra chromosome 21 in Down syndrome cell cultures. Edited cells showed restored gene expression to typical levels. The findings are limited to lab-grown ...

Cancer has been pulling off an elaborate deception, one that explains why men die from the disease more often than women—and why some cutting-edge therapies might be doomed to fail. The culprit is the ...
