If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the ...

Contrary to what textbooks have claimed for over a century, cell division does not always follow the same pattern. Researchers have just demonstrated that cells can divide asymmetrically, overturning ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Cell division allows a single fertilized egg to develop into a living being, our skin to renew itself, and wounds to heal. Before each cell division, termed mitosis, the genetic information must first ...

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 ...

Proteins let cells remember how well their last division went Scientists find a "mitotic stopwatch" that lets individual cells remember something.
