Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle of a living cell in four dimensions, capturing how the genetically minimal ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three ...

A new 4D simulation of a minimal bacterium shows how digital twins could transform biology, but also highlights the huge GPU demands behind whole-cell modelling.

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 ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

A metabolic enzyme also binds and unwinds RNA to promote translation of cell cycle genes. This dual role links energy status to cell division, revealing a molecular switch that controls growth, and ...

A computational method called scSurv, developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, links individual cells to ...
