A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles (EVs), small particles ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. To achieve this, duplicated chromosomes, known as ...

The ideal therapy for a disease works exclusively at the site of the disease. But when it comes to the brain, which is wrapped in a protective barrier and contains thousands of different cell types, ...

The emergence of cancer drug resistance remains one of the most pressing problems in cancer care and there is a critical need ...

Different types of cancer have unique molecular 'fingerprints' which are detectable in early stages of the disease and can be picked up with near-perfect accuracy by small, portable scanners in just a ...
