Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Cell division is key for life. Every organism – from the smallest yeast to complex human beings – depends upon the constant reproduction of individual cells. In this process, various mechanisms ensure ...

A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a combination of ...
