For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web ...

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.

Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is fundamental to biology. Every cell inherits the same protein and DNA building blocks that make up the cell it ...

A group of ocean bacteria long considered perfectly adapted to life in nutrient-poor waters may be more vulnerable to ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease. A living ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...

Every time a stem cell divides, one daughter cell remains a stem cell while the other takes off on its own developmental journey. But both daughter cells require specific and different cellular ...

Researchers have discovered that before cells start to divide, they toss waste products. Using a new method they developed for measuring the dry mass of cells, the researchers found cells suddenly ...

Researcher are now able to rebuild the switch that remodel the cytoskeleton. Images of an anaphase cytoskeleton in a dividing cell (left) and when rebuilt in vitro (right). PRC1 (green) crosslinks ...
