Study reveals ATM kinase as the key driver of replicative senescence
After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres-the…
Researchers discover new mutation hotspot in the human genome
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA…
Study uncovers new mechanism for chromosome congression during mitosis
A research team from The University of Osaka, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has uncovered…
Study forces a textbook rewrite on cell division
Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed…
New insights reveal persistent genome structure during cell division
Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the…
