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 ...
Model for ORF1p-RNP formation and DNA recognition. ORF1p forms homo trimers and higher-order oligomers that can bind to DNA but have a clear preference for RNA. Credit: Sarah Zernia et al Model for ...
Max Planck Institute of Molecular PhysiologyJul 10 2025 Reviewed 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 ...
Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...
The mechanical process of cell division exerts powerful, if microscopic, forces. How do the molecular machines that power it ...
A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...
Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...
Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer.
