Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the ...

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 ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental biological functions, vital to life – but there's still so much about it that we don't understand. In an attempt to find out more, researchers at the ...

A protein known as MPS1 helps to ensure that a key process during cell division of oocytes—unfertilized egg cells—occurs in a ...

Researchers at ISTA discover a crucial process that enables immune cells to get to where they are needed. Study published in Science. To get to the places where they are needed, immune cells not only ...

Marine fungi have long been overlooked in the research community, despite their likely contributions to the health of ocean ecosystems. Now, a first deep dive into the diversity of marine fungi and ...

In 2000, researchers discovered that mutations that inactivate a gene known as TRIM37 cause a developmental disease called ...

Researchers discover that a specialized part of the chromosomes, essential for a correct cell division, is smaller and weaker in stem cells, when compared to the ones of differentiated cells. 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 ...
