A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

Some long-lived fungi species appear to be able to use a special type of cell division to stop cell mutations in their tracks, reducing the chances of cancers growing, scientists have discovered.

Combining statistical modeling with flow cytometry enables reliable, high-throughput quantification of division asymmetry in live cells, revealing how partitioning noise may shape tumor cell ...

Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours - sometimes more than a day - in a ...
