It has been discovered that there are multiple types of DNA sites prone to breakage, beyond those previously known. This was announced by RIKEN, Kobe University, and JST. By examining cells one by one ...

At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...
