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

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in individual cells. The improved resolution will promote advanced cell analysis ...

In most known bacterial species, cell division starts with the formation of the cytokinetic ring, the Z-ring, at the cell’s middle 1,2. In Escherichia coli, the Z-ring consists of FtsZ protofilaments ...

Heterogeneity in cancer cell phenotypes enhances the population’s capability of resisting fluctuating adverse environments 1,2,3, like those produced by the administration of drugs and anticancer ...

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 ...

Working with human breast and lung cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many ...

Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes it can be impaired, allowing diseases such as cancer to develop. Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in collaboration ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

A new study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a hidden mechanism explaining why breast cancer can return many years after successful treatment. Published in Nature ...
