The journey started with an enigma in the zebrafish embryo: some endothelial cells, actively involved in the initial stages ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks ...

Scientists studying zebrafish larvae noticed something weird. Skin cells seemed to be dividing without replicating their DNA. They confirmed that what they were seeing was real, upending what we ...

If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

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 ...

Researchers have revealed a surprising new role for a key protein in cell division. The discovery, reported in two back-to-back papers, challenges long-standing models and textbook accounts in biology ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in individual cells. The improved resolution will promote advanced cell analysis ...

Working with human breast and lung cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many ...

Cell division is the process of a cell splitting into two genetically identical daughter cells. The actin protein seen in this video is essential for successful cell division. While actin has several ...
