Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Researchers have discovered that bacterial swarms transition from stable vortices to chaotic turbulence through distinct intermediate states. Combining experiments with bacterial swarms, computer ...
