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

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

The study of the cell cycle focuses on mechanisms that regulate the timing and frequency of DNA duplication and cell division. As a biological concept, the cell cycle is defined as the period ...

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

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems ...
