Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...
