Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in ...

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 ...

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 ...

A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...

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 key for life. Every organism—from the smallest yeast to complex human beings—depends upon the constant reproduction of individual cells. In this process, various mechanisms ...

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 ...

undergoing cell division. The replicated chromosomes are not visible as individual units - their DNA is loosely coiled. Replicated chromosomes remain attached to each other by their central region ...

However, most fungi use a different form of cell division—called "closed" mitosis—in which the nuclear envelope remains intact throughout the division process. Very little is known about why ...

the presence of certain group VIIIb transition metal compounds in concentrations of about 1–10 parts per million of the metal in the culture medium causes an inhibition of the cell division ...
