Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Scientists discover that women's second X chromosome awakens later in life, expressing genes that protect the brain from ...

Researchers found that a gene on the Y chromosome influences how aortic valve stenosis progresses differently in males and ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease -- aortic valve stenosis -- progresses differently in males and females.

Females, on average, live nearly five years longer than males. They also tend to experience age-related cognitive decline at ...

Brain cells, or oligodendrocytes (green), in the hippocampus are marked with the GFP genetic marker in the mouse brain. These cells often deteriorate ...
