Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

The induction of the cell cycle in cardiomyocytes involves the activation of specific genes that are responsible for regulating cell division and growth. Our laboratory has discovered several ...

An international team has mapped the movement of proteins encoded by the yeast genome throughout its cell cycle. This is the first time that all the proteins of an organism have been tracked across ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Caulobacter crescentus has emerged as a premier model for studying bacterial cell cycle regulation due to its distinctive asymmetric division, which produces two morphologically and functionally ...
