Cell division is key for life. Every organism – from the smallest yeast to complex human beings – depends upon the constant reproduction of individual cells. In this process, various mechanisms ensure ...

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 ...

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

New research sheds light on embryonic mitosis, thanks to a combination of novel imaging techniques, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology, a modern protein-knockdown system, and medaka, or Japanese ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...
