A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

Cell aging has always been an important topic in biological research, and telomere shortening is one of the key issues in cell aging studies. Telomeres are special DNA sequences located at the ends of ...

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed.

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive ...

Scientists now believe the Y chromosome, found in males, plays a bigger role in health and aging than once thought. Earlier, ...
