By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides, which happens constantly. Without this process, we would die.

New research shows hydroxyurea reshapes DNA replication in cancer cells, revealing stress responses that may help design ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to ...

Allison McClure, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the CU School of Medicine. She is focused on learning all about how cells replicate, or ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

Prior to cell division, chromosomes are seemingly a jumbled mess. During cell division, parent cell chromosomes and their duplicates sort themselves out by condensing, becoming thousands of times more ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn’t replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...
