A team of researchers has constructed the most detailed single-cell map of the adult human prostate to date, cataloging more ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup. Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau, Southwest Germany, have ...

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed.

The Y chromosome is among the smallest in the human body and carries the fewest genes. Researchers are paying renewed attention to its role in cancer—specifically, what happens when it vanishes. Women ...

Every human cell has a pair of chromosomes that give your body a blueprint for how to grow and develop starting as a single cell inside a uterus. But in a new study from the Cedars-Sinai cancer center ...

Researchers from the University of Arizona have unveiled that coordinated Y chromosome loss in both cancer cells and immune cells may explain the worse prognosis in people with this alteration. The ...

Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

Researchers discovered an antioxidant, glutathione, that cancer cells appear to be "addicted to" as fuel, opening new ...

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive ...

Scientists now believe the Y chromosome, found in males, plays a bigger role in health and aging than once thought. Earlier, ...
