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 ...

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

A new study challenges a widely-held notion about cell division. © screenshot from a video by The University of Manchester, with photo editing by Gizmodo If you took ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...
