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 research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...
If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

A starting signal for cell division: Molecular switch ensures that cells divide at the right time
About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...
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 ...
When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.
