University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have revealed how mistakes in the final step of cell division can have dire consequences for developing brain cells. The findings offer important ...

Our cells rely on tightly regulated signaling pathways to control when they grow, divide and survive. When these regulatory ...

Loss of GATA6-a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off-can reprogram colorectal cancer cells ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in individual cells. The improved resolution will promote advanced cell analysis ...

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 ...

Loss of GATA6—a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off—can reprogram colorectal cancer cells ...

A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...
