If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division - a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...

When a virus enters a cell, its top priority is to replicate its genome rapidly, creating new viruses to infect elsewhere.

Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) delivers protracted, low absorbed dose rate radiation over time, with cellular DNA repair ...
