If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

The structure of a cell’s nucleus has long served as a visible clue to whether a cell is healthy or affected by disease.

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

Two views of an expanded skin cell nucleus from a person with progeria: On the left, antibody fluorescence imaging shows the ...

Researchers have revealed the fundamental mechanisms underlying homologous recombination – one of the main DNA repair pathways in human cells.

The latest imaging method from the Broad Institute uncovers structural disruptions in the nucleus associated with progeria at ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

Scientists report that they have learned how certain combinations of rearranged genes can promote the progression of a rare type of kidney cancer.

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea ...
