Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

They soon observed that some cells weren't dividing according to the "shortest wall rule," which normally governs plant cell division. While plant cells are expected to build the smallest – and ...

Plant and animal stem cells both rely on the cytoskeleton to divide properly, but a new Stanford study finds that they use them in opposite ways – while animal cells pull on the cytoskeleton ...

Plant and animal stem cells both rely on the cytoskeleton to divide properly, but a new study finds that they use them in opposite ways—while animal cells pull on the cytoskeleton, plant cells push it ...

Researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology have found that an anchoring complex in plant cells recruits its own version of the katana sword for cutting microtubules. The Msd1-Wdr8 ...

Researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology find that an anchoring complex stabilizes microtubule creation sites within plant cells, then recruits katanin — named after the katana sword ...
