During organismal development, cell division rates vary continuously within and between tissues to generate the correct abundance and organization of cell types. Cell differentiation results in ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling.

In the canonical model of cell division, a contractile actomyosin ring assembles around the cell equator and symmetrically contracts to constrict the cell 1,10,11,12,13. However, in many species the ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

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