Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

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 ...

After 40 years at Fred Hutch Cancer Center asking good questions of his own science and the science of his colleagues, cell biologist Jonathan Cooper, PhD has retired from the Basic Sciences Division.

If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

Cell division is the process of a single cell splitting into two daughter cells, each of which will contain a copy of the parent cell’s DNA. This image showcases three of the major players in the ...

High-resolution imaging shows how MraZ breaks and deforms to attach to repeated DNA sequences, activating the gene cluster ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...
