Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...
(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...
The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...
Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells to multiply without restraint. Decades of research have traced this process ...
Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this re-entry is more common in Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study. The phenomenon may ...
