Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce. Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and repair of damage ...

Within multicellular organisms ... neighboring cells or from the extracellular matrix are also important influences on the arrangement of cells in a tissue. Without cell division, long-term ...

The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell. Thus, over time, asexual reproduction in bacteria can lead to a ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...

A new study highlighting the importance of a large protein complex called the exocyst in cell growth, division and ...

Exploiting the invariant lineage, our long-term interest is to use the worm as a model to understand how to build a complex organism, gene by gene ... small but reproducible differences in division ...

DNA is a complex molecule that consists ... proper functioning and survival of all living organisms. DNA replication is the process by which the DNA molecule makes an exact copy of itself during cell ...
