In a study that could help scientists better understand and manipulate cell division, RIKEN biologists have engineered ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

Nature Cell Biology is delighted to welcome you to this special issue, 'Focus on Cell Division', which we hope will be of interest not only to researchers within the field, but also to our readers ...

Examples of questions to ask students: How might the cytoskeleton be used in cell division? What other function(s) might the cytoskeleton perform in the cell? Can they create a simple model to ...

Some DNA damage evades repair for years, causing repeated mutations during cell division, increasing cancer risk, especially ...

Cell physiology. Combining unique experimental tools and a passion for knowledge, the researchers from the Department of Cell Physiology and Metabolism investigate key questions i ...

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

A recent Cell Reports paper by the Oxenius group (IMB) demonstrates a function of targeted centrosome inheritance during CD8+ ...

Organisms made of more than once cell are described as multicellular. Examples of multicellular organisms include animals and most species of plants. The following diagram shows the variety of ...

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 ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...
