New insights into a sophisticated process that protects sperm cells has revealed a mechanism, similar to an immune system, thwarts genetic chaos during the earliest stages of their development.

The first analysis of how synaptic proteins change during early development reveals differences between mice and marmosets but also what's different in individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

New organoid models help reveal the mechanisms driving the death of excitatory neurons, leading to frontotemporal dementia. A recent research collaboration, spearheaded by Kathryn Bowles at Mount ...

The development and ripening of fruit represent a dynamic interplay of genetic programs, phytohormone signalling, and epigenetic regulation. These processes transform a seed-bearing structure into an ...
