Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

A Université de Montréal study has found a previously unknown mechanism in bacterial reproduction that could be attacked by future antibiotics. Bacteria reproduce by dividing into two: they form a ...

When cells experience enough chronic stress, they can stop dividing permanently. In this state of cellular limbo, known as ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest forms of breast cancer to treat, but a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine suggests a surprising way to stop it from ...

Researcher are now able to rebuild the switch that remodel the cytoskeleton. Images of an anaphase cytoskeleton in a dividing cell (left) and when rebuilt in vitro (right). PRC1 (green) crosslinks ...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest to treat breast cancers, but a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine suggests a way to stop it from spreading.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Pinpointing the stressors that help trigger or accelerate replicative senescence has proven difficult. Now, in a study ...
