Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
