Sickle cell disease experts are worried that recent staffing changes at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will impact a program that collects data about the genetic disease and how it ...

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 ...

Arteriovenous malformations, a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, may be driven by endothelial cell-cycle acceleration via CDK6, suggesting potential for repurposing CDK6 inhibitors.

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction. Cell division is a grand event which completely transforms the landscape.

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. To achieve this, duplicated chromosomes, known as ...

BOWLING GREEN, KY.- According to the CDC, about 90,000 non-Hispanic Black or African American people in the United States have sickle cell disease. Outside the U.S., the condition is more common in ...

Sickle cell experts say the future of a critical data collection program is in flux after staff at the CDC’s Division of Blood Disorders and Public Health Genomics were placed on administrative leave ...
