A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

Figure 1: A fluorescence light micrograph of breast cancer cell about to divide into two. Chromosomes are stained blue, while the pink dots are kinetochores. RIKEN ...

Figure 1: A light micrograph of a large oocyte in an ovary. RIKEN researchers have found that MPS1 promotes timely spindle bipolarization when oocytes in mice undergo ...

Can vitamin D protect telomeres? Research suggests it may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress linked to cellular aging.

A fertilized egg of an animal can be easily removed, and the process of cell division can be observed alive. However, a fertilized egg of a plant cannot be removed and observed alive since it lies ...
