(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During this time, chromosomes replicate—each DNA strand unzips into two strands while free-floating bases attach to the unzipped strands. The ...

The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) initiates exit from mitosis by ubiquitinating A- and B-type cyclins, the activating subunits of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1). Subsequently, the APC has to be ...

Chromosomes are a highly condensed form of DNA and are crucial for cell division. During mitosis, chromosomes ensure that the genetic material is equally divided among the daughter cells.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We have shown previously that incubation of irradiated plateau-phase CHO cells in hypertonic growth medium during the period normally allowed ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

After long postirradiation incubation periods, the residual frequency of prematurely condensed chromosome fragments following X-ray exposure of noncycling diploid human fibroblasts was found to be ...

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During this time, chromosomes replicate—each DNA strand unzips into two strands while free-floating bases attach to the unzipped strands. The ...

Mitotic chromosomes are pivotal for the inheritance of genetic material. Now, it is already known that chromosomes vary in dimensions among organisms. But what governs mitotic chromosomal size and ...
