"The discovery of this role for 14-3-3 has immediate and important medical implications because cell division already is one of the major targets of anticancer drugs," says Douglas Robinson ...

How might the cytoskeleton be used in cell division? What other function(s) might the cytoskeleton perform in the cell? Can they create a simple model to illustrate their thinking? Prophase: Again, ...

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 ...

During cell division or mitosis, the centromere regions of chromosomes assemble large protein machines called kinetochores to connect chromosomes to microtubules, which the chromosomes then use to ...

Founded in 1981, the Basic Sciences Division has since expanded to include more than 30 laboratory groups that explore topics as diverse as regulation of cell division and mechanisms controlling wound ...

These basic processes, known collectively as the cell cycle, are repeated throughout the life of a cell. Of the various parts of the cell cycle, the division portion is particularly important ...

But perhaps it was too simple, because the cells weren’t all ... including seven that are required for regular cell division. And sure enough, the new variant was able to divide properly into ...

"We started by asking a basic science question about how cell division normally happens," he says. Specifically, the researchers were interested in the activity of a molecule called cGAS ...

"The phenomenon of mitosis—or cell division—is one of the fundamentals of life and a basic biological concept which is taught from school age. Students learn that when a cell divides ...
