Genome-wide chromatin accessibility profiling reveals how myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) stem cells progressively lose normal stem-cell features and acquire myeloid progenitor-like characteristics.

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

A research team at The University of Osaka has found a novel pathway for depositing CENP-A into vertebrate centromeres, which ...

Regulatory T cells are specialized immune cells that suppress the immune response and prevent the body from attacking its own cells. Understanding how these cells work is key to determining how they ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

Researchers from the University of Chicago (IL, USA) have reported that unstable, or ‘noisy’, chromatin enables cells to take on different roles in the body. This flexibility can support the immune ...

Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around three billion base pairs in humans, this material needs to ...
