Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin. During interphase, the period between cell divisions, DNA is replicated and the ...

DNA replication and repair mechanisms constitute the foundation of genomic integrity, ensuring that genetic information is faithfully duplicated and maintained across cell generations. Replication ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

A new review in the Journal of Translational Medicine consolidates how the replication-initiation protein ORC1 safeguards ...

A new review proposes that the DNA damage response drives PD-L1 upregulation in senescent cells, enabling immune evasion and ...

At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...

Bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria, have a fiendishly simple purpose in life: attach to a bacterial cell, inject ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

I have completed a master's degree in a science-related graduate school and work as a researcher at a manufacturing company.
