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 ...

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in ...

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

Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...

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 ...

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 ...
