Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

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 ...

Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours -- sometimes more than a day -- in a ...

Cell division is the process of a cell splitting into two genetically identical daughter cells. The actin protein seen in this video is essential for successful cell division. While actin has several ...

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 ...

A gamete created with SCNT has 46. To solve this problem, the researchers developed a technique they call mitomeiosis, an artificial method that mimics the natural process of cell division. "The ...

Researchers from Oregon Health & Science University say that they solved the problem of the extra set of chromosomes by ...
