Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make ... To copy itself, however, LINE-1 must enter each cell's nucleus, the inner barrier that houses DNA.

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

The team takes a step forward ... New Stem Cell Model Sheds Light on Human Amniotic Sac Development May 15, 2025 — Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic ...

Asymmetric division was found to be more likely in isomorphic cells. Would isomorphism in zebrafish translate to human cells? To find out, the researchers used micropatterning, which involves ...

Following on from a remarkable study in mice, scientists have now confirmed that silencing a certain protein in muscle tissue leads to energy-deprived human cells seeking out fat for fuel ...

“We are therefore able to make movies of this fundamental cell behaviour and in doing so reveal exciting new aspects of how tissues grow.” The team also used a technique using human cells called ...

For scale, each human cell nucleus packs about two metres of DNA. The researchers sifted through 10 billion pieces of sequencing data to build each species' 3D genome map in detail. While there ...
