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 ...

Researchers have generated FuChi, the first viable Fucci cell cycle reporter line in an avian species, revealing that S phase exit may drive cell movements during chicken gastrulation.

When a human cell prepares to split into two daughter cells, it must first construct a tiny internal machine called the mitotic spindle—a structure of protein fibers that physically pulls chromosomes ...

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 shows that pathogenic variants in the chromatin regulator MSL2 disrupt oligodendrocyte precursor cell division ...

Cell division is a complex process. At the heart of this complexity is a membraneless organelle called the centrosome, which ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

All cells have a cell cycle, where they grow, copy their DNA, and spilt into new cells during cell division. There are two types of cell division – mitosis and meiosis. During meiosis, a diploid (2n) ...

The interplay between the circadian clock, intestinal stem cell niche, and epithelial cell fate is shaping our understanding of how gut homeostasis and cellular regeneration are regulated. Recent ...
