Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central process allows cells to grow, divide, and stay alive. It has accompanied ...

During early embryonic cell divisions in vertebrates and insects, the egg cytoplasm is partitioned into distinct compartments by large microtubule structures, which occurs before cellularization and ...

Chromocenters in mouse cells are membrane-less nuclear compartments representing typical heterochromatin stably maintained during cell cycle. We explore how histone H3 variants, replicative H3.1/2 or ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires precise coordination; otherwise, the embryo could develop serious complications ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
