Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

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 the process of a single cell turning into two daughter cells – nearly identical copies of itself. To do this, the original cell needs to copy all its cellular components, including ...

The function of a key protein in the cell division process has been newly discovered, a result that overturns existing models and explanations found in textbooks. This achievement is expected to ...
