A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

Cell proliferation is a highly orchestrated process essential for growth, tissue repair, and maintaining homeostasis in multicellular organisms. During the cell cycle, cell division is regulated by ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...

Early embryonic cell division in large, yolk-rich cells has long defied traditional models of cytokinesis. New research reveals that instead of relying on a fully closed contractile ring, cells can ...

The presented findings are important for the field of cell-cycle control. They provide new insights into the origin of cell size variability in budding yeast. The strength of evidence is solid.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

If the chocolate you eat in the morning tastes different from the chocolate you eat in the evening, the link between the cell cycle and the circadian clock might be the reason. The study by Matsu-ura ...

Cell polarity is fundamental to morphogenesis across living organisms. In plants, a dynamic interplay between polarity cues and the cytoskeleton orchestrates essential asymmetric cell divisions across ...
