Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

Just one enzyme manages the refilling of the cellular soda machine that replicates our genes. PLK-1 initiates a process in two protein groups, leading to creation of new CENP-A proteins. These CENP-A ...

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 ...

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 ...

A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction. Cell division is a grand event which completely transforms the landscape.

Many cellular functions in the human body are controlled by biological droplets called Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets. These droplets, made of soft biological materials, exist inside ...

Researchers have revealed a surprising new role for a key protein in cell division. The discovery, reported in two back-to-back papers, challenges long-standing models and textbook accounts in biology ...

During animal cell division, a highly synchronized and tightly regulated dance of chromosomes takes place, ensuring the chromosomes split correctly into the two cells. Spindle fibers - complex ...

In Drosophila testis, germline stem cells (GSCs) typically divide asymmetrically, keeping one daughter cell within the niche for self-renewal and placing the other daughter cell outside the niche to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have achieved a notable advance in synthetic cell research, engineering artificial cell ...

Considered among Europe’s most prestigious honours in life sciences, EMBO Gold Medal is awarded by European Molecular Biology ...
