About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

The first step in the process of generating embryonic stem ... using a chemical or electrical treatment that stimulates cellular division. The first division results in two cells (left image ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

undergoing cell division. The replicated chromosomes are not visible as individual units - their DNA is loosely coiled. Replicated chromosomes remain attached to each other by their central region ...

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.

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, called Exportin-1 (also called Xpo1 or Crm1), seems to play a role in promoting gene transcription, the process that creates RNA ...

Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from this process have identical genetic compositions.
