This is a valuable polymer model that provides insight into the origin of macromolecular mixed and demixed states within transcription clusters. The simulations are well performed and clearly ...

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered an unexpected way the nervous system repairs itself after injury, one that involves support cells acting far from the original damage. Their findings reveal ...

Life’s fundamental structure is the cell, and so the main things that a cell does — processing biomolecules, growing, replicating its genetic material and producing a new body — are considered ...

Researchers have uncovered a shared brain cell breakdown mechanism behind Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, revealing how two different proteins can disrupt neurons in the same devastating way.

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...
