In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G 1, S, G 2, and M. The S or synthesis phase is when DNA ...
The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...
Some types of cell are more likely than others to give rise to tumours. A rapid cell cycle is a newly identified predictor of cancer susceptibility. Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting ...
Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...
