A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...

Real estate agents will tell you that a home’s most important feature is “location, location, location.” It’s similar in neuroscience: “Location is everything in the brain,” said Bosiljka Tasic, a ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Abstract: Contribution: We explored the effects of using concept maps for the instruction of a college-level telecommunications course, as both the “backbone” structure of the traditional lectures and ...

Revised: This Reviewed Preprint has been revised by the authors in response to the previous round of peer review; the eLife assessment and the public reviews have been updated where necessary by the ...

How misfolded proteins are segregated and cleared is a significant question in cell biology, since clearance of these aggregates can protect against pathologies that may otherwise arise. The authors ...

Abstract: This study explores the use of Network Analysis as a method to evaluate student-generated concept maps. By treating concept maps as networks, network analysis techniques are applied to ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...
