Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

For a living cell to divide successfully, each daughter cell must inherit the correct genetic material. In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a ...

EMBL scientists have shown how overlapping loops of DNA stack upon each other in dividing cells to give rise to rod-shaped ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a ...

A new study has shown how chromosomes change shape during cell division. Certain protein complexes help fold DNA into overlapping loops that repel each other, which then stack to create a rod-like ...

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

It is a genetic condition caused when an unusual cell division result in an extra full or even partial copy of chromosome 21.

The improper segregation of chromosomes during cell division leads to abnormalities that disrupt the proper functioning of the cell. Cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes consequently activate ...
