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 ...

Cell aging has always been an important topic in biological research, and telomere shortening is one of the key issues in cell aging studies.

How does the body produce the diversity in T-cell fates that are essential for immunity? The symmetric division model predicts that the fate of each naïve T-cell is determined by the cytokines the ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Each day, a human adult loses on average 50 to 70 billion cells, which die from natural causes alone. New cells replace lost ...
