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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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

A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...

Microorganisms seem to have found a home nearly everywhere on the planet, including the insides of animals. The skin, gastrointestinal tracts, lungs, and mouths of humans have been colonized by ...
