Study finds that large embryo cells divide step by step using a mechanical ratchet system, challenging the textbook idea of a ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

After 40 years at Fred Hutch Cancer Center asking good questions of his own science and the science of his colleagues, cell biologist Jonathan Cooper, PhD has retired from the Basic Sciences Division.

If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

High-resolution imaging shows how MraZ breaks and deforms to attach to repeated DNA sequences, activating the gene cluster ...

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