A team of scientists has uncovered new information about Mendel's work, revealing that he began with practical objectives as a plant breeder before exploring underlying biological processes. This work laid the foundation for modern genetics and was only recognized 34 years after its publication.
A new mathematical theory explains how cells navigate the risk-speed tradeoff when dividing, balancing risk and speed to ensure survival. The theory applies broadly to all organisms, despite differences between yeast and mammalian cells.
Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered the cellular mechanisms behind jellyfish's remarkable ability to regenerate body parts. The study found that free-swimming adult jellyfish possess actively proliferating cells controlling body-size, tentacle shape, and regeneration.
Researchers from the University of Seville have discovered a new mechanism that makes it possible to understand premature ageing in cells with asymmetrical cell division. This mechanism is related to the distribution of microtubule-organising centres (MTOCs) during cell division.
Researchers established two human pancreatic cancer cell sublines with high metastasis potential, MIA PaCa-2 In8 and Panc-1 In8, which demonstrated increased migration, invasion, and clonogenic abilities compared to their parental cells. The study also identified a dysregulated lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) net...
Researchers fused yeast chromosomes to study reproductive isolation and its effects on breeding. The team found that viable sex cells could not be produced when the difference between chromosome numbers became too great, leading to reproductive isolation.
Researchers have identified a network of brain cells that orchestrate parental behavior in mice, including hormonal changes and altered social behaviors. The discovery could one day help develop treatments for postpartum depression and other related conditions.
Research reveals that individual neurons or specific types of neurons can silence genes from one parent or the other, particularly during brain development. As the brain matures, these differences tend to decrease, but some genes continue to exhibit differential expression in adult brains.
A recent study found that genomic imprinting, a process silencing one set of parental genes, can be regulated in adult tissues. The researchers observed variation in epigenetic marks between cell types, indicating a need for fine-tuned gene expression in different tissues throughout development and adulthood.
Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered a new type of induced Xen (iXEN) stem cells that can be created by reprogramming mature adult cells. These cells have unique properties and can shed light on reproductive diseases, potentially leading to advances in regenerative medicine.
Researchers discovered molecular brakes Hey1 and Hey2 regulate hair cell generation in the inner ear. Without them, cells are generated too early and disorganized, leading to hearing problems.
Researchers have discovered that cell division time is programmed by the 'parent' cell and varies between parent and offspring cells. The study's findings challenge a 40-year-old theory on cell division and provide a new model to predict how populations of cells divide.
Researchers found that mothers underestimate their youngest child's height by 7.5 cm on average, while overestimating their eldest child's height is almost accurate.
A Penn State-led research team found that histone protein changes can control whether a gene functions, with the potential to maintain genetic expression and prevent disease. The study's findings have significant implications for the study of diseases like cancer and understanding cellular behavior.
Researchers at Caltech used powerful imaging technique to study Acetonema longum, a bacterium with two membranes that responds to extreme situations by forming protective spores. The study found that the outer membrane may have originated from an inner membrane during sporulation, providing insights into its evolution and function.
Researchers discovered a protein called MLL that bookmarks highly active genes in cells, enabling rapid gene reactivation after cell division. This finding may help understand how mutated MLL contributes to abnormal cell proliferation and differentiation in leukemia.
Researchers at the University of California - San Diego have found that parent cells involved in embryonic development can generate three important types of cells with potential for cardiac repair. The study suggests that restoring the ability of adult epicardial cells to generate cardiomyocytes may enhance their future potential for c...
A new study suggests that aging has evolved as a strategy to allow family lines to persist longer. By concentrating cellular damage in one individual, the rest of the line can continue to reproduce without harm. This asymmetric reproduction method may be favored by evolution due to its potential to increase longevity.
Researchers found that yeast cells experience a sudden surge in genetic changes at late-middle age, similar to humans. Genetic instability is linked to cell division cycles, not lifespan, and may explain why cancer typically surfaces later in life.
