Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) ...

Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...

Explore Toxoplasma, a common parasite affecting one-third of the population. Discover how new imaging techniques aid research ...

The review emphasizes how breakthroughs in understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell cycle regulation have paved the way for the development of targeted anti-cancer agents. Notably, inhibitors of ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The study, led by Dr. Rod Bremner, a Senior Investigator at the ...

A metabolic enzyme also binds and unwinds RNA to promote translation of cell cycle genes. This dual role links energy status to cell division, revealing a molecular switch that controls growth, and ...
