While mitosis is taking place, there is no cell growth and all of the cellular energy is focused on cell division. During prophase, the replicated pairs of chromosomes condense and compact themselves.

The basic structure of most animal and plants cells is shown below. All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce ...

New research from an international team of plant biologists, led by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems ...

Cancer cells are cells gone wrong — in other words, they no longer respond to many of the signals that control cellular growth and death. Cancer cells originate within tissues and, as they grow ...

Begin with Quality Ingredients Cell culture media are essential for providing the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals necessary ...

With the theoretical part extended, this paper would be of interest to cell biologists and biophysicists working on asymmetric partitioning during cell division. Asymmetric partition of fate ...

In addition to inhibiting cell division, it also affects sensory nerves ... types of nerve cells have functional relevance for tumor growth," explains Vera Thiel. "Complete blockade of the ...

Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce. Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and repair of damage such as wounds.
