A recent Cell Reports paper by the Oxenius group (IMB) demonstrates a function of targeted centrosome inheritance during CD8+ ...

The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical ... Finally, transduction is a process by which a virus transfers genetic material from one bacterium to another bacterium.

The discovery of giant viruses like the Mimivirus have blurred the division between viruses and cells in terms of particle and genome size, leading to the revival of these debates (Moreira ...

Cultured stem cells could be contaminated with viruses which would be transferred to a patient. Educating the public about what stem cells can and cannot do is important. Whether the benefits of ...

These include bacteria and fungi, but individual viruses are too small to see with an ordinary microscope. Bacteria are roughly 20-times smaller than human cells, while viruses are around 100 ...

A virus that infects ocean phytoplankton was found to encode a ribosomal protein, a first for eukaryotic viruses. Researchers ...

Researchers commonly employ lentiviruses to modify cells genetically. However, they must overcome several challenges when using these viruses in the laboratory or clinic. In this episode, Charlene ...
