Scientists have created egg-like cells capable of fertilization using DNA from ordinary skin cells in what could be a major ...

Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes it can be impaired, allowing diseases such as cancer to develop. Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in collaboration ...

When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in individual cells. The improved resolution will promote advanced cell analysis ...

The process, which would carry significant safety concerns, involves removing the nucleus from a woman's skin cell and ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Oregon scientists used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs, a step in the quest to develop ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

Cell division is one of the most thoroughly studied processes in biology, yet many of its details remain mysterious. A century-old puzzle surrounding the "crown" of cell division—the kinetochore ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers have found that a protein called Mrc1 plays a crucial role in ensuring that cells keep their identity as they divide and grow. The discovery could have ...

Human skin cells may one day be used to create functional human eggs in a step toward helping women have their own genetic ...
