Cell division is a complex process. At the heart of this complexity is a membraneless organelle called the centrosome, which ...

BENGALURU: Scientists from IISc’s Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology (MCB) have found a way to use blue light to ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a new technique called Light-Induced Spindle Activation ...

A previously unknown protein, hidden in RNA thought not to encode proteins, helps cells divide correctly. The RNA molecule ...

Modern technologies have made it possible to uncover a growing "hidden proteome"—proteins encoded by parts of the genome that ...

Cell division, a process fundamental to life, still holds surprises. Researchers from the University of Zurich and the ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

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 ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

Researchers discover that genetic diversity in sperm is established earlier than previously thought, with DNA shuffling ...

When a human cell prepares to split into two daughter cells, it must first construct a tiny internal machine called the mitotic spindle—a structure of protein fibers that physically pulls chromosomes ...
