Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

What am I looking at? This is a time-lapse video showing the dynamic nature of the ER in monkey kidney cells as they undergo cell division. The density of the ER network is represented by the ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

For a cell to progress through the G1 phase of the cell cycle and divide, it must first integrate various signals. It emerges that cells in a ‘primed’ G1 state — characterized by intermediate ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...
