Examples of questions to ask students: How might the cytoskeleton be used in cell division? What other function(s) might the cytoskeleton perform in the cell? Can they create a simple model to ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

Cell division is fundamental to life, enabling growth, reproduction, and survival across all organisms, from single-celled bacteria to complex multicellular animals. While animals and fungi share ...

The fact that PLK-1 endures in the cells of tumors shows that it endures in general, and is involved in mitosis (the division of cells for replication) under even extreme body conditions like ...

During meiosis, the cell division process central to sexual reproduction, all chromosomes must figure out where to destroy ...

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

University of Tennessee assistant Professor Amit Joshi and an international team published new research in Science on the ...

New research shows that SMC proteins loop and twist DNA consistently in both humans and yeast, impacting DNA structure and ...

Scientists have discovered how naturally occurring but unstable molecules, known as free radicals, can control the fundamental process of cell division, which, when it goes wrong, can lead to ...

Biologists at the University of Rochester are calling a discovery they made in a mysterious region of the chromosome known as ...

Cyanobacteria use an AM radio-like principle to coordinate cell division with circadian rhythms, encoding information through ...
