University of Nevada, Reno researchers Jeanne and David Zeh of the Department of Biology have received a five-year, $650,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate the effects of ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) represents a rare and intriguing deviation from the standard model of strictly maternal inheritance. In bivalves, DUI manifests as the ...

T stem cells normally undergo asymmetric cell division (left) whereby one daughter cell becomes a long-lived memory T cell. When autophagy is disrupted, both daughter cells inherit old mitochondria ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

A study published in the latest issue of Science reveals a cellular mechanism involved in the inheritance of genetic mutations. The study also points to a potential treatment that could reduce the ...
