Electricity-conducting cable bacteria form a group of multicellular prokaryotes that enable electron transfer ... “Their electrogenic metabolism involves a peculiar division of labor between cells in ...

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

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

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

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.

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

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

marking the appearance of the eukaryotic cell. From that point onward, and unlike what happens with proteins, the average gene length continues to increase as it did in prokaryotes, due to the ...

Students are currently taught that during cell division, a ‘parent’ cell will become spherical before splitting into two ‘daughter’ cells of equal size and shape. However, the study reveals that cell ...

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