This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours -- sometimes more than a day -- in a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

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 ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

Scientists at the (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor ...

Nassour lab aims to advance strategies to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer more effectivelyOut of the approximately 30 ...

Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and ...
