Myosin-dependent cell-cell communication controls synchronicity of division in acute and chronic stages of Toxoplasma gondii. Nat. Commun. 8 , 15710 doi: 10.1038/ncomms15710 (2017).

The stage of the cell division process represented here is called anaphase. In these images, the DNA is orange (1) and the microtubules are white (2). Click on the right arrow to see additional images ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the ...

The team used images of 75 representative cells, taken from a database of nearly 40,000 maintained by the organization. Each shows a live human stem cell line, gene-edited so that the different ...

Gerlich and colleagues examined human HeLa cells in the very final stages of cell division using using three-dimensional live microscopy and electron tomography. They identified 17nm wide filaments -- ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical model that describes a key step in human cell division – and an important target for cancer treatment – in unprecedented detail. Using their model, the ...

Let's go through the stages of cell division. Use the interactive activity as a visual reference point. Back to top. The first stage: Interphase. Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle.

To the point. Key protein: Plk1 plays an essential role in cell division, activating proteins involved in this process, and is overexpressed in many cancers. Cell division at the correct time: ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical model that describes a key step in human cell division – and an important target for cancer treatment – in unprecedented detail. Using their model, the ...

At the Allen Institute for Cell Science, researchers worked with visualization experts to create a new tool that shows a 3-D detailed image of a dividing human stem cell.
