Researchers revealed that mitosis doesn’t always feature cell rounding (when a parent cell becomes spherical), meaning that ...

New research reveals that cells don't always become round before dividing, challenging over a century of textbook biology.

Contrary to what textbooks have claimed for over a century, cell division does not always follow the same pattern.

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parents assumes a spherical shape, which ...

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

Researchers from the University of Manchester have determined that the process of cell division does not always occur ...

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

By forming oscillating patterns between the ends of a cell (poles), the Min protein system provides protection against ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.
