A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy.

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies.

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

Learn about the structure and function of chromosomes, the role they play in genetics, and how they influence your health and shape medical research.

Like the other plant tissue with polytene chromosomes, anther tapetum cells can display polytenics that vary in structure and morphology from species to species (q.v. Nagl, 1974, 1981; Carvalheira and ...

However, in scc3, no chromosome clumps were detected during interphase, and an evident uncondensed chromosome structure was observed, suggesting a role for SCC3 in organizing genome topology and ...
