Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

In animal cells, movement of membrane into an ... provide a simple mechanism to control cell morphology. During mitosis, cells round up, and the change in morphology could be explained by the ...

concluded that nitrous oxide was a mitotic poison preventing interphase cells from entering mitosis and causing spindle destruction and chromosomal abnormalities in dividing cells. They stated ...

Most animals, including humans, have bilateral symmetry, which means our bodies are pretty symmetrical. At least on the ...

Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical ...

This internal left-right asymmetry is believed to begin at the very early stage of development -- when a tiny embryo is divided into two parts during a process called gastrulation. This process ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. If this is a human cell, it will contain all 46 chromosomes with the full DNA to make an exact copy of ...

A research team at the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) has developed a new ...
