Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
In our February issue, Steven Reiner describes how lymphocytes make use of a highly unusual type of division to create two different kinds of cells: effector and memory. Here, you can see this ...
Every day, our cells are hard at work multiplying. Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes this process is impaired and diseases like cancer occur. Mitosis is one of the most important ...
Biologists have uncovered a quality control timing mechanism tied to cell division. The 'stopwatch' function keeps track of mitosis and acts as a protective measure when the process takes too long, ...

Scientists simulate a living cell’s full life cycle in 4D
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle of a living cell in four dimensions, capturing how the genetically minimal ...
A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
