Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

Cell division is one of the most fundamental and complex processes underpinning life. In human cells, thousands of molecules ...

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...

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 ...

Researchers said decoding these hidden signals could explain how cells divide accurately, how this process goes wrong in ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within ...

Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...

Researchers have pinpointed a critical stage in zebrafish embryo development when cells become more resilient to disruptions in division. Using a light-activated tool to block the CENP-E protein, the ...

The olfactory system is essential for most animals: it supports postnatal survival, detects environmental hazards and mediates emotional, social and nutritional behaviors.
