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.

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

Cancer cells are cells gone wrong — in other words, they no longer respond to many of the signals that control cellular growth and death. Cancer cells originate within tissues and, as they grow ...

Three RIKEN researchers have shed light on the cellular mechanisms underlying chromosomal abnormalities that can cause ...

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 ...

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 ...

However, image analysis revealed abnormal cell division in at2-mmp mutants. Conversely, when At2-MMP was overexpressed, normal wound healing similar to that in wild-type plants was observed.

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

Oct. 9, 2024 — Researchers have developed a groundbreaking cell culture platform that enables the formation of two distinct but interconnected vascular networks. Their breakthrough holds ...

According to many experts, we may soon find ourselves using fuel cells to generate electrical power for all sorts of objects we use every day. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel ...

We're down to eight teams as division series action got underway Saturday, with Game 1 scheduled in all four matchups. This round is a best-of-five game format, with the higher seed hosting Games ...
