By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Figure 6. Senescent heterogeneity model based on DNA content. Compared to G1-arrested cells, G2-arrested senescent cells express higher levels of senescence-associated markers, secrete more IL-6, and ...

Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this re-entry is more common in Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study. The phenomenon may ...
