Bcl2-associated athanogene-1 protein (Bag1) acts as a co-chaperone of heat shock protein 70 and heat shock cognate 70 and regulates multiple cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis ...

The team first created mice that lacked a key iron accumulation gene in the gonadal cells of XY embryos during the period of sex determination. These embryos had higher levels of DNA methylation, ...

UdeM reproductive biologist Greg FitzHarris and his team show for the first time that sister cells can communicate with each other through a bridge that allows them to die in a coordinated way. Sister ...
