Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

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 ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...

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 ...

In each cell of your body, DNA is stored in structures called chromosomes. When cells divide, these chromosomes are copied, ...

Yeast’s emergence as a model organism reshaped scientific discovery in cell biology, genetics, and more. Yeast is a ...
