Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

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

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

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

Researchers use light stimuli to shape cells and develop a model that explains the mechanisms – with implications for synthetic biology.

Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during ...

One corollary is implied by this new hypothesis: centrosome abnormalities could trigger overgrowth only if they affect self-renewing asymmetric stem-cell division. In this model, the correlation ...

Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted ...
