The controlled cycling between active (RanGTP) and inactive (RanGDP) forms occurs in different regions of the cell, and enables the formation of the Ran gradient. In this exquisite strategy ...

In addition, we have recently begun to ask how cell cycle events including DNA replication and chromosome segregation are coupled to cellular physiology and to the status of the chromosome. We employ ...

The proteins involved in cell division events no longer appropriately drive progression from one cell cycle stage to the next. Cells that progress through the cell cycle unchecked may eventually ...

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 ...

When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be estimated using the formula: \(\text{Length of time in phase}=\) \(\frac{\text{observed number of ...

In one organism, the same genome allows for the development of different tissues, controlled cell cycle progression, and specialized responses to environmental stimuli. This occurs through a process ...

Key cell cycle events analyzed. (A) At slower-growth rates, cells are born with a single origin of replication. (B) In faster-growth conditions, cells are born with multiple origins.

A life cycle is the series of stages something passes through during its lifetime. We also use the term for things that are not living, like cell phones. The life cycle for anything you buy includes ...
