A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

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 ...

When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...

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 ...

Biologists have uncovered a quality control timing mechanism tied to cell division. The 'stopwatch' function keeps track of mitosis and acts as a protective measure when the process takes too long, ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

The protein actin is crucial for one of the last steps in cell division – a process called cytokinesis. At the end of cell division, the two resulting cells separate. Actin filaments form a ring in ...
