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 ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

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 ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Aggregates are cleared during cell division. (A) Representative images of dividing ER-FlucDM-eGFP cells at ... we pretreated cells blocked at G2/M with varying concentrations of Tuni for 3 hours and ...

Mitosis is the complex process in which duplicated chromosomes are condensed, segregated with the help of the mitotic spindle, and packaged in to daughter cell nuclei. Mitosis occurs in five ...

In general, progression through mitosis and overall cell health is achieved by limiting the exposure of the cells to light, especially light of shorter wavelengths. In practice, when viewing cells ...

Apr. 4, 2025 — New research shows how small shifts in the molecular makeup of a virus can profoundly alter its fate. These shifts could turn a deadly pathogen into ...
