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 yeast ...

New research sheds light on embryonic mitosis, thanks to a combination of novel imaging techniques, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology, a modern protein-knockdown system, and medaka, or Japanese ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

The journey started with an enigma in the zebrafish embryo: some endothelial cells, actively involved in the initial stages of the development of the earliest blood vessels, were dividing in an ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...

Just one enzyme manages the refilling of the cellular soda machine that replicates our genes. PLK-1 initiates a process in two protein groups, leading to creation of new CENP-A proteins. These CENP-A ...

Cell division is the process of a single cell splitting into two daughter cells, each of which will contain a copy of the parent cell’s DNA. This image showcases three of the major players in the ...

Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

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 ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PHC Corporation Biomedical Division (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Nobuaki Nakamura, hereinafter referred to as "Biomedical Division") will showcase a prototype ...

The process of aging is associated with a decline in immune functions and persistent low-level inflammation. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered a strain of Lentilactobacillus capable of ...
