Disrupted sleep patterns in Alzheimer’s disease may be more than a symptom—they could be a driving force. Researchers at ...

Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...

NIMS, in collaboration with Nagoya University, Gifu University, and the University of Adelaide, has developed a method for simultaneously imaging DNA and RNA inside cells using harmless infrared to ...

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 ...

University of Tokyo scientists uncover how DNA damage links hair greying and cancer risk, and why grey hair may protect you.

This study shows that G1 lengthening follows critical dynamics that amplifies cell–cell variation. A novel mathematical model ...

Researchers have created a safe, infrared-based method to image DNA and RNA simultaneously in living cells. The technique ...

Around the globe, heart disease remains one of the top causes of death. Once patients begin to suffer from serious heart ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...
