A cell copies all of its DNA, gears up to split in two, and then just… doesn’t. It sits there, swollen with a double genome, and nobody notices. This kind of silent failure has been observed in labs ...
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 ...
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 ...
Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...
Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...
Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species ...
Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel University has solved the long-standing mystery of how the bacterium B.
