A new interactive map of the proteins involved in cell division gives the ability to track how groups of proteins interact to drive the process of mitosis. Researchers have created a 4D computer ...

How do we grow from a single fertilized egg into a fully grown person with trillions of cells? Our cells divide, of course! And it's no mean feat. Each time a cell divides, it must duplicate our 23 ...

Chromosomal instability (CIN), the inability to correctly segregate sister chromatids during mitosis, provides the evolutionary fuel to initiate and propagate the transformed state of multiple forms ...

One recent hypothesis for the mechanism of chromosome movement during mitosis predicts that a continual, uniform, poleward flow or "treadmilling" of microtubules occurs within the half-spindle between ...
