To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest forms of breast cancer to treat, but a new ...

A protein known as MPS1 helps to ensure that a key process during cell division of oocytes—unfertilized egg cells—occurs in a timely manner, RIKEN biologists have discovered. This finding in mice may ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to produce functional eggs using a new scientific technique they say could one day help ...

The process, which would carry significant safety concerns, involves removing the nucleus from a woman's skin cell and ...

Chemists induced a cell-like behavior in molecular assemblies called vesicles. They used a sacrificial chemical fuel to make the vesicles divide into smaller versions of themselves. While this process ...
