Every time a tissue grows or renews itself, cells must divide inside an already crowded environment. That creates a ...

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 ...

New research by EMBL scientists shows how different modes of cell division used by animals and fungi might have evolved to support diverse life cycles. Cell division is one of the most fundamental ...

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 ...

Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours - sometimes more than a day - in a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

If you ask, "What is cell division?", people will answer, "It's when cells divide."However, if you ask, "How does a living ...

Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel University has solved the long-standing mystery of how the bacterium B.

New research from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists suggests that cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitors, which are currently being tested as treatments that slow the growth of a narrow ...

A new study from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research shows that cell division actively reshapes epithelial tissue, ...

“We closed a gap in our knowledge that was open for 10 years,” says Duccio Conti, a postdoc in the Musacchio group and first author of the publication. In healthy DNA replication, at first, each new ...
