Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...
A cell copies all of its DNA, gears up to split in two, and then just… doesn’t. It sits there, swollen with a double genome, and nobody notices. This kind of silent failure has been observed in labs ...
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 ...
Cells that double their entire genome do not all share the same fate. New research published in the Proceedings of the ...
Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...
When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...
A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
