Cell proliferation is a highly orchestrated process essential for growth, tissue repair, and maintaining homeostasis in multicellular organisms. During the cell cycle, cell division is regulated by ...

This study presents a useful method based on flow cytometry to study partitioning noise during cell division. The methods, data and analysis support the claims of the authors is convincing. This work ...

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.

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, ...

Although plants share core cell division mechanisms with other eukaryotes, their unique features, such as acentrosomal spindle formation and cytokinesis via the phragmoplast, suggest the existence of ...

Which model airplane kit is best? Model airplane kits come in a vast variety of styles and detailed constructions. They aren’t just a few wooden planks that click together and barely float anymore.

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Model making is a great hobby, but knowing how and where to start is another story. It can be overwhelming for novices: Injection-molded plastic models have been on the market for close to a century, ...
