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

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

Cell division is the process by which a parental cell gives rise to two daughter cells. The process involves both nuclear division and cytokinesis and can either produce two equal cells (symmetric ...

When DNA damaged by radiation was repaired by a method called homologous recombination, they found that cancer cells died ...

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

This valuable study investigates how the proteins of the Cdv division system in Metallosphaera sedula archaea sequentially interact with curved membranes in vitro, extending our understanding of this ...

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 ...

Scientists have struggled for decades to understand why radiation therapy kills cells from the same tumour in different ways.

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.

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 ...

A study reveals that the way cancer cells die after radiotherapy depends on DNA repair methods. By blocking specific repair ...

Millions of people owe their lives to a treatment we’ve never completely understood; changing that could save even more.
