Isomorphic cell division reveals a hidden code in tissue building
The journey started with an enigma in the zebrafish embryo: some endothelial cells, actively involved in the initial stages ...
For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
A serendipitous observation has revealed that cells make several versions of a key protein needed for cell division. The ratio of these protein isoforms influences how long division can be delayed ...

A starting signal for cell division: Molecular switch ensures that cells divide at the right time
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 ...
A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
