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

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

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

Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around 3 billion base pairs in humans, this material ...

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...

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

Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...

Cell division is key for life. Every organism – from the smallest yeast to complex human beings – depends upon the constant reproduction of individual cells. In this process, various mechanisms ensure ...

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 ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
