Cell division is a complex process. At the heart of this complexity is a membraneless organelle called the centrosome, which ...

A previously unknown protein, hidden in RNA thought not to encode proteins, helps cells divide correctly. The RNA molecule ...

During animal cell division, a highly synchronized and tightly regulated dance of chromosomes takes place, ensuring the chromosomes split correctly into the two cells. Spindle fibers—complex machinery ...

Every tissue in the body is a work in progress. Cells divide, mature, migrate, and change identity in response to signals ...

Modern technologies have made it possible to uncover a growing "hidden proteome"—proteins encoded by parts of the genome that ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, King's College London and Complutense University of Madrid have shown that γδ T ...

Trying to hit a target size before dividing seems like the best strategy for maintaining a precise cell size, but bacteria don't do that. Now we know why. When a single bacterial cell divides into two ...

When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...

There is variability in when and how cells divide during the development of embryos. While researchers traditionally believed this variability was an obstacle that needed to be regulated, a group now ...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest forms of breast cancer to treat, but a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine suggests a surprising way to stop it from ...
