The current study shows that cells with additional chromosomes have an altered mitochondrial structure and function. The reason: mitochondrial precursor proteins are sequestered in p62-positive ...

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive structural supports. But a new study reveals they play a far more active signaling ...

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic ...

DigC Is Designed to Analyze CNV in a Single Cell The analysis of copy numbers of genetic sequences is of fundamental importance in biology and medicine, and Digital Counting (DigC) is a new method to ...

South Korea’s national radiation research institute screened 80 North Korean defectors for signs of past radiation exposure ...

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed.

Scientists now believe the Y chromosome, found in males, plays a bigger role in health and aging than once thought. Earlier, ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...
