Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

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

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.

A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...

Research into cell cycle regulation and size control in microorganisms has yielded a nuanced understanding of how these entities maintain homeostasis and synchronise growth with division. In both ...

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

Images of human cells at different stages of mitosis. Chromosomes are colored cyan, spindle microtubules in red and spindle poles are yellow. Each day, hundreds of billions of cells in our body cycle ...

The presented findings are important for the field of cell-cycle control. They provide new insights into the origin of cell size variability in budding yeast. The strength of evidence is solid.

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...
