“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.

Cell biology: The complexity of division by two Date: April 15, 2019 Source: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Summary: Researchers have identified a novel protein that plays a crucial role ...

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

the Allen Institute for Cell Science has launched a new tool, the Integrated Mitotic Stem Cell, that visualizes what cell division - or mitosis - looks like in an average human stem cell.

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 ...

In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , researchers from Queen Mary University of London ...

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 ...

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 ...
