Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
