About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

Each day, a human adult loses on average 50 to 70 billion cells, which die from natural causes alone. New cells replace lost ...

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 ...

Cell division is the process of a cell splitting into two genetically identical daughter cells. The actin protein seen in this video is essential for successful cell division. While actin has several ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

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.

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem cells.
