If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae. Until now, little was known about 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 ...

Cell division is one of the most thoroughly studied processes in biology, yet many of its details remain mysterious. A century-old puzzle surrounding the "crown" of cell division—the kinetochore ...

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 ...

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 ...

For the first time, a team of scientists has created a synthetic single-celled organism that can divide and grow like a regular living cell. This breakthrough could lead to designer cells that can ...
