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 ...

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

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 ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...

Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...

What am I looking at? This is a time-lapse video showing the dynamic nature of the ER in monkey kidney cells as they undergo cell division. The density of the ER network is represented by the ...

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