Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

Cell biology: The complexity of division by two Date: April 15, 2019 Source: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Summary: Researchers have identified a novel protein that plays a crucial role ...

A new study challenges a widely-held notion about cell division. © screenshot from a video by The University of Manchester, with photo editing by Gizmodo If you took ...

Cell division is a fundamental process of life, producing two cells from one single cell at each cell division. During animal development, a fertilized egg divides many times, increasing the ...

During cell division, the duplicated DNA must be split equally between two identical 'daughter' cells. If this does not occur correctly, then health problems such as cancer can arise. The division ...

Errors during cell division can trigger the development of cancer. No wonder that this central process is controlled by multiple regulators and guards. Alex Bird's research group at the Max Planck ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have now discovered that cell division is key to their success. Together with other recent studies, their findings published in ...

They found unexpectedly that E2F, before being fully activated, can remain in a potentially lengthy state of partial and reversible activation that may end in full commitment to cell division or a ...

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell ...
