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 ...
Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours - sometimes more than a day - in a ...
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 species ...
Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...
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 ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...
Septation and cell separation occur as distinct events during cell division in many Gram-positive bacteria. The process first involves synthesis of a complete, multilayered peptidoglycan (PG) septum ...
In bacteria, environmental and cellular stresses including nutrient exhaustion, envelope stress and DNA damages, trigger various signaling pathways that can cause a transient inhibition of the cell ...
“We closed a gap in our knowledge that was open for 10 years,” says Duccio Conti, a postdoc in the Musacchio group and first author of the publication. In healthy DNA replication, at first, each new ...
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 ...
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 ...
