A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within ...

Caulobacter crescentus has emerged as a premier model for studying bacterial cell cycle regulation due to its distinctive asymmetric division, which produces two morphologically and functionally ...

Arteriovenous malformations, a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, may be driven by endothelial cell-cycle acceleration via CDK6, suggesting potential for repurposing CDK6 inhibitors.

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 ...

A major advance in cell biology has revealed how our cells safeguard their genetic material during one of the most vulnerable moments in their life cycle. The study identifies a specific protein ...

When Dr. Ambroise Wonkam walked into a panel on medical genetics out of curiosity, he had no idea it would shape the course of his career. Born in Cameroon, Wonkam has dedicated his career to studying ...
