Sophie Dumont, PhD, was on track to become a physicist when she stumbled upon a mind-blowing description of cell division at a Berkeley auto shop while waiting for her clunker to be fixed. “My old car ...

If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

Scientists at the (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor ...

To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other spatial pattern systems, including embryo development, plant formations, and ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental biological functions, vital to life – but there's still so much about it that we don't understand. In an attempt to find out more, researchers at the ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

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 ...
