The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

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

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

Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.

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

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller cells at the margin—a size gradient that controls the timing of everything ...

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 ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...
