Brandon Reagan, a postdoctoral researcher at Michigan State University, explores the relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum and plant stress responses.

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

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 ...

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

According to NASA, the timing for the "planetary parade" indicates it will be visible in the evening of Feb. 28. Gohd says that the six planets will be visible in the evening sky from Earth, just ...

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 ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

A fundamental property of all living cells is their ability to regulate their size while proliferating. Cell proliferation involves a mother cell, growing over time and dividing into daughter cells at ...

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 ...

A zebrafish embryo during the first cell division cycle, with the structural protein actin labelled, which marks the cell boundary and ingressing furrow. The image shows a time course from dark orange ...
