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” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial weakness in the malaria parasite that could open the door to new treatments. Researchers identified a protein called Aurora-related kinase 1 (ARK1) that acts like a ...

Scientists used light to evolve proteins that can switch, sense, and even “compute” inside living cells. Evolution is one of ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

LiCellGrow was developed to assist therapy developers in determining the optimal culture conditions during process ...

A recent study by Fred Hutch biochemist Christopher Lapointe, PhD, and his colleagues, uses innovative lab techniques to ...

Centromeres play virtually the same central role across the entire tree of life: They ensure the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Yet the striking diversity in centromere ...
