Researchers created artificial kinetochore structures that reduce chromosome separation errors during meiosis in aging egg cells. By lowering microtubule pulling force, the approach helped maintain ...

For sexual reproduction to yield healthy offspring, newly generated oocytes—immature egg cells—must receive the correct amount of DNA after cell division. This process of segregating chromosomes ...

Y-complex nucleoporin, Nup107, can regulate ecdysone production by affecting the transcription of Halloween genes and levels of RTK receptor, torso, for the metamorphic transition from larva to pupa.
