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

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 ...

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

BENGALURU: Scientists from IISc’s Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology (MCB) have found a way to use blue light to ...

LISA uses light-induced Aurora A clustering to stimulate microtubule formation, restore spindle assembly, and rescue cell ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

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

Cell division, a process fundamental to life, still holds surprises. Researchers from the University of Zurich and the ...

The team engineered lipid-based vesicles — membrane-enclosed compartments that structurally resemble biological cells — and equipped them with a minimal set of molecular machinery capable of driving ...

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 ...
