Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of life. From bacteria to blue whales, every living being on Earth relies on cell division for growth, reproduction, and species survival. Yet, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester have changed our understanding of how cells in living organisms divide, which could revise what students are taught at school. In a study published today ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells ...

Cell division is essential for the survival of all living organisms, from the simplest yeast to complex human beings. This ...

A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...
