Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden made an unexpected discovery while investigating genetically unique women.

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

Science has revealed some of the secrets of the X chromosome, but many remain. In humans, female cells contain two X chromosomes (XX) and male cells contain one (XY). In each female cell ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in ...

New research at the UO reveals that they have been using one that has existed for 480 million years. The octopus has just ...
