Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in ...

The discovery reveals that, when disturbed, this process could contribute to cancer or other diseases by failing to properly control the steps and timing of cell division, the researchers say.

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 ...

A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...

of the organism and controls the cell’s activities.: In the model, this is the grape. Cell membrane close cell membraneThis surrounds the outside of animal cells and controls what can enter and ...

If the model that claims the timing of cell division depends solely on DNA duplication is correct, then cells of a similar size at duplication would divide at a similar time—irrespective of ...

In particular, he was interested in "the cancer problem": Why are cancer cells unable to control themselves ... different appearance of cells and cell division in microbial eukaryotes, plants ...
