Scientists demonstrate role of protein in distinguishing chromosome ends from DNA breaks
The Stowers Institute's Baumann Lab has demonstrated how human cells protect chromosome ends from misguided repairs that can lead to cancer. The work, published in The EMBO Journal, a publication of the European Molecular Biolog ...

The egg makes sure that sperm don't get too old
In contrast to women, men are fertile throughout life, but research at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has now shown that a fertilising sperm can get help from the egg to rejuvenate. The result ...

A double ring ceremony prepares telomerase RNA to wed its protein partner
Few molecules are more interesting than DNA—except of course RNA. After two decades of research, that "other macromolecule" is no longer considered a mere messenger between glamorous DNA and protein-synthesizing ...

Men might not 'become extinct' after all: Theory of the 'rotting' Y chromosome dealt a fatal blow
(PhysOrg.com) -- If you were to discover that a fundamental component of human biology has survived virtually intact for the past 25 million years, you'd be quite confident in saying that it is here to stay.

Therapeutically useful stem cell derivatives in need of stability
Human stem cells capable of giving rise to any fetal or adult cell type are known as pluripotent stem cells. It is hoped that such cells, the most well known being human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), can be used to generate ...

Modifications to chromosomal proteins help ensure that brain-specific sugars are produced only in appropriate tissues
Many proteins are adorned with carbohydrate chains called glycans that can dramatically alter their stability, localization or function. These diverse sugars are assembled and modified by a variety of glycosylating ...
