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 ...

Abstract: The persistent reduction in size and the increasing complexity of SRAM circuits have made them more susceptible to failures due to fluctuations in process parameters. These fluctuations ...

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

Scientists have uncovered a crucial weakness in the malaria parasite that could open the door to new treatments. Researchers identified a protein called Aurora-related kinase 1 (ARK1) that acts like a ...

Pushing the human body to ultramarathon extremes may come at a surprising cost: damage to the very blood cells that keep it alive. Credit: Shutterstock Ultramarathons might push red blood cells past ...

Abstract: The formation chambers are the most important and energy consuming stages during cell formation process, where lithium-ion cells undergo continuous charging and discharging cycles. In this ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...
