Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

Cell division is one of the most fundamental and complex processes underpinning life. In human cells, thousands of molecules ...

A subtle failure during cell division can set off dramatically different outcomes, according to new research exploring whole genome duplication. A new study finds that the way a cell fails to divide ...

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 ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

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 ...

A European team led by scientists in Vienna presents a database for cell cycle control The EU-funded project MitoCheck, which started in 2004, has now been successfully rounded off. Eleven European ...

Inside the University of Florida’s Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience in St. Augustine, the future of human medicine is slowly crawling across the glass of saltwater tanks.
