Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

During cell division in most organisms, DNA is packaged into multiple chromosomes — each of which has its own purpose — before being transmitted to the offspring cells. Of these chromosomes, one ...

To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

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 ...

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 at ISTA discover a crucial process that enables immune cells to get to where they are needed. Study published in Science. To get to the places where they are needed, immune cells not only ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...
