The cellular life cycle, also called the cell cycle, includes many processes necessary for successful self-replication. Beyond carrying out the tasks of routine metabolism, the cell must duplicate ...

Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur. Maggie Chen is a scientist and science journalist covering health, biology, ...

Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this re-entry is more common in Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study published April 9 in ...

A life cycle is the series of stages something passes through during its lifetime. We also use the term for things that are not living, like cell phones. The life cycle for anything you buy includes ...

When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be estimated using the formula: \(\text{Length of time in phase}=\) \(\frac{\text{observed number of ...

Today, attention is turning to understand how non-proliferating cells, cells that have exited the cell cycle, retain their capacity to re-enter when necessary. In the past, this labs study of G1 ...
