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

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

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 how ...

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

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 ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...

Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around 3 billion base pairs in humans, this material ...

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 ...

MADISON - A cellular structure discovered 125 years ago and dismissed by many biologists as "cellular garbage" has been found to play a key role in the process of cytokinesis, or cell division, one of ...

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