The mechanics of the onset of cancer or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS remain a mystery.

That’s why they turn to simulations, like this one, which tracks how a bacterial cell divides into two. The simulation tries ...

Experience the remarkable life cycle of the Roselle plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa) in this detailed time-lapse video. From ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

In new research, scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in collaboration with ...

(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

As the final missiles launched on the training range, Fort Riley soldiers concluded their training cycle this week, marking the end of a nine-month European deployment aimed at strengthening NATO ...

In early embryos, the first cell divisions must be extremely rapid and precisely controlled to ensure successful development. This balance is found to arise from a tight coupling between the clock ...

Early embryonic cell division in large, yolk-rich cells has long defied traditional models of cytokinesis. New research reveals that instead of relying on a fully closed contractile ring, cells can ...

The presented findings are important for the field of cell-cycle control. They provide new insights into the origin of cell size variability in budding yeast. The strength of evidence is solid.

A zebrafish embryo during the first cell division cycle, with the structural protein actin labelled, which marks the cell boundary and ingressing furrow. The image shows a time course from dark orange ...
