During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus. Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in ...

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 ...

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle. DNA replicates to form two copies of each chromosome, ready for cell division. This then produces new sub-cellular structures such as ...

Patients could be exploited by paying for expensive treatments and being given false hope of a cure as stem cell therapies are only in their developmental stages.

Researchers observed an increase in both CXCR4 and CD5 levels as the cells progressed to later stages of the cell cycle, particularly in the S/G2/M phases.

Understanding the dynamics of this pre-commitment stage could pave the way for novel therapies targeting cancer and other diseases linked to cell division. The scientists created new instruments ...

A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...

Cell division is essential for the survival of all living organisms, from the simplest yeast to complex human beings.

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements ... because chromosomes can be most easily visualized at this stage. Furthermore, cells can be experimentally arrested ...
