Researchers discovered that PLK1 triggers a process ensuring centromere preservation during cell division by activating the ...

In an article published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology, scientists used a data science approach to study the ...

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 ...

It is one of the most fundamental questions in science: how can lifeless molecules come together to form a living cell? Bert ...

There is variability in when and how cells divide during the development of embryos. While researchers traditionally believed this variability was an obstacle that needed to be regulated, the Hiiragi ...

A recent study has revealed that chloride flow through channels on the surface of tumor cell lines plays a crucial role in ...

Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains two copies.

Researchers from Osaka University have revealed a close link between polyploidy and DNA damage, showing that the presence of ...

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 ...

How can lifeless molecules come together to form a living cell? Bert Poolman, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of ...

There isn’t a single answer to what causes pancreatic cancer because it involves multiple factors. Here’s what science knows ...

Each milestone represents an important discovery, or set of discoveries, in the field, and together they give an overview of the history of cell division. They were selected with the help of more ...
