Common plastic chemical benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) causes DNA damage, resulting in cell death and abnormal chromosome ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease.

To avoid elimination, many B chromosomes influence cell division in their favour and increase their copy number in the process. This phenomenon is called chromosome drive. The “selfish” B chromosomes, ...
