Eukaryotic cells grow and divide through a specific series of cellular events. These events are tightly controlled, ensuring that the resultant daughter cells are free of DNA errors, and subject to ...

A core challenge in biology is understanding how processes in the body, such as cellular development and regeneration, unfold ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

A cell on its way to becoming skin pigment, blood, or nerve does not make that shift alone. It responds to a dense web of molecular instructions, some pushing forward, others holding it back.
