When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...
