Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

The number of cells being analyzed in single-cell projects continues to push the envelope. Last week, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) launched the Billion Cells Project—an effort to generate an ...
