The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The study, led by Dr. Rod Bremner, a Senior Investigator at the ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

This video explains the stages of mitosis, contrasts them with meiosis and the creation of haploid gametes, and concludes by ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease. A living ...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest forms of breast cancer to treat, but a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine suggests a surprising way to stop it from ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The research findings, published in Nature, have implications for ...

Researcher are now able to rebuild the switch that remodel the cytoskeleton. Images of an anaphase cytoskeleton in a dividing cell (left) and when rebuilt in vitro (right). PRC1 (green) crosslinks ...
