Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

After more than a decade of research, scientists have discovered the natural mechanism behind a novel form of cell death ...

Cells were long believed to safeguard nuclear contents, releasing them only during cell death. Extracellular DNA was thought ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...
