Simple models combined with quantitative time-lapse measurements of cell growth and division are an essential first step towards generating and falsifying mechanistic hypotheses for the ...

And hundreds of centrioles, intended for eventual construction of cilia at the cell surface, got stuck in the cell body. If the cell cycle were like a particular score played by a molecular orchestra, ...

To investigate the core engine of the eukaryotic mitotic cycle, a minimal control network has been generated in fission yeast that efficiently sustains cellular reproduction. Orderly progression ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

Their next question was: when in the mother cell cycle does a cell decide if its daughter cells will divide? To answer this, the researchers removed and replaced the growth factors – which give the ...

Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur.

The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle.

The cell cycle represents a series of tightly integrated events that allow the cell to grow and proliferate. Critical parts of the cell cycle machinery are the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which, ...

Explore the many stages in the life cycle of a cell phone. What ways we can change how we use them to be better friends to the Earth?

Waves of Macromolecule Production During the Cell Cycle In individual yeast cells, essential biosynthetic processes peak at different times in the cell cycle, revealing a temporal dynamic once thought ...

Furthermore, cell cycle-dependent alterations of TERT mRNA expression in HeLa cells was reconfirmed by qPCR. The similar responses of telomerase activity were also given by evaluated with using ...

New research has uncovered an essential mechanism coordinating the processes of cell division and adhesion within humans. This discovery has profound potential for advancing understanding of cell ...
