The cell must also pass through a series of checkpoints that ensure conditions are favorable for division. In order to move from one phase of its life cycle to the next, a cell must pass through ...

And, if key checkpoints are missed or repair genes ... Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle ...

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

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 ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

resulting in cell division. WNK1 was important for progression around the cycle and for bypassing checkpoints which can slow down the process, as T cells without WNK1 progressed more slowly ...

The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is seeking partners to continue the development of a cancer biomarker for predicting susceptibility to drugs targeting cell ...
