New findings shed light on how chromosomes manage the various pushing and pulling forces generated when cells divide. Specifically, researchers show that chromosomes resist being punctured by the ...

A research team have discovered a mechanism of flowering plant sperm compaction and gathered clues as to why it is required. Sperm cells have compact bundles of DNA, yet exactly how and why sperm cell ...

Sperm cells have compact bundles of DNA, yet exactly how and why sperm cell nuclei are condensed in flowering plants has been a mystery, until now. A research team from the John Innes Centre have ...
