Mammalian oocytes utilize a conserved combination of cell cycle control, cytoskeletal organization, and polarity pathways that are fundamentally shared with other vertebrates and invertebrates.

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...
