“During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity,” Herbert and Lovegrove said in a study recently published in Science.

Their work is detailed in a study published Thursday in the journal Science, and holds important implications for understanding cell division in diseases such as cancer. “Students learn that ...

The fact that PLK-1 endures in the cells of tumors shows that it endures in general, and is involved in mitosis (the division of cells for replication) under even extreme body conditions like ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be ... currently an associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) -- set out to solve this problem.

While this process is much messier than real cell division, it serves as a model for how the earliest precursors to cells may have been able to split without complex inner machinery. Video credits are ...

for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen (Germany). His group has now discovered that Plk1 is not essential for the start of cell division. "Rather, it acts as a molecular switch to ensure ...

Symmetry is a fundamental characteristic of most multi-cell animals. However, the cell division of embryonic cells is ...

“Palti envisioned that alternating electric fields at certain frequencies could have an impact on the intracellular components in a dividing cell in a way that will interfere with division events,” ...
