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

Our cells constantly receive DNA damage from factors such as ultraviolet rays, irradiations, toxins and chemicals. For women, ...

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 ...

The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove ...

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 ...

Study reveals the impact of X chromosome on brain aging in women. Learn how maternal and paternal X chromosome can influence cognitive abilities.

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they have now found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X chromosome, the animals’ memory and ...

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce enough ...

In females with two X chromosomes – one inherited from each parent – one of the two X chromosomes is randomly silenced in every cell through a process called X-inactivation. When this process occurs, ...
