In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

Here, the authors show that intercellular bridges that connect germ cells in a syncytium are critical for ensuring proper meiotic progression and fertility in male mice. Single-cell replication ...

A vaginal yeast infection is caused by an overgrowth of yeast (a type of fungus) in the body. People with diabetes are more prone to getting these infections because their blood sugar levels are often ...

After more than a decade of work, researchers have reached a major milestone in their efforts to re-engineer life in the lab, putting together the final chromosome in a synthetic yeast (Saccharomyces ...

Yeast infections on the scalp are caused by an overgrowth of fungal organisms. Candida is the yeast that most often infects the scalp. The problem can also be caused by Malassezia, a yeast that often ...

We illustrate through simple examples how this approach can be used not only in transgenerational contexts (meiotic experiments) but also in intragenerational contexts (mitotic experiments), and ...
