Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a ...

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

With the theoretical part extended, this paper would be of interest to cell biologists and biophysicists working on asymmetric partitioning during cell division. Asymmetric partition of fate ...

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 ...
