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 ...

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells. University ...

As a result of our work with T1D in the TEDDY and nPOD projects, it has become clear that significant molecular biological work must be done to determine mechanisms that can enable enteroviruses to ...

(THE CONVERSATION) A defining characteristic of cancer cells is their immortality. Usually, normal cells are limited in the number of times they can divide before they stop growing. Cancer cells, ...

Oncotarget published "Frame-shift mediated reduction of gain-of-function p53 R273H and deletion of the R273H C-terminus in breast cancer cells result in replication-stress sensitivity" which reported ...

The discovery could serve as a starting point for antiviral strategies. A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, ...

The current model of replication-dependent (RD) histone biosynthesis posits that RD histone gene expression is coupled to DNA replication, occurring only in S phase of the cell cycle once DNA ...

A research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism crucial to the ...

Diogenx SAS raised €27.5 million (US$30.4 million) in a series A round to move a novel therapy for type 1 diabetes into clinical development. The Marseille, France-based company is building on the ...
