Scientists have uncovered an unexpected function for a crucial protein involved in cell division. Reported in two consecutive ...

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 ...

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 ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome segregation, a process that depends on the coordinated remodeling of the ...

Somin Lee receives funding from the Air Force of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and National Science Foundation (NSF). Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is ...

After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres-the protective ...

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 ...

As nearly one in six couples experience fertility issues, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is an increasingly common form of ...

Labroots, in collaboration with the Cell Biology Planning Committee, is thrilled to unveil the 8th Annual Cell Biology Virtual Event Series on September 18th, 2024. Mark your calendars for an ...
