The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...

The two proteins KNL2 and CENP-C are crucial for the correct separation of chromosomes during cell division. To dock to the centromere, the newly described additional binding regions (DNA-b) to the ...

Researchers have just revealed that a protein called MCL1, already known to help cancer cells avoid death, also orchestrates ...

Proteins circulating in the blood can reveal what's happening in the body, from how we process energy to how diseases develop. Unlike genetic testing, which shows fixed risk factors from birth, ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for learning and memory. Results of the study, published in the journal Science ...
