Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

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 is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

In a multicellular organism, normal growth requires control of cell division to generate cells that are similar to or different from their parents. Analysis of this process in plant roots reveals how ...

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 ...
