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 ...

When a cell divides, spindle fibers (green) form from centrosomes at each end of the cell and guide the chromosomes (purple), ensuring they are correctly divided between the two new cells. Credit must ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cells that double their entire genome do not all share the same fate. New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that cells born from failed cell division, ...
