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 ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

An international team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has mapped the movement of proteins encoded by the yeast genome throughout its cell cycle. This is the first time that all the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 18 (May 3, 2022), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) B and T lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system undergo ...

The polarization of the scaffold-signaling hubs at cell poles constitutes the basis of ACD. However, the biomolecular basis and regulatory mechanism of the polar signaling complexes has been largely ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

Human reproduction is notoriously inefficient. Whereas the fertilized eggs of other animals, such as mice, usually progress to more complex embryo stages, fertilized human eggs often falter early on.
