Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have defined a ...

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

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have defined a new genetic disease marked by premature aging and deficits in brain function.

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive ...

An organism grows and repairs its body using a form of cell division known as mitosis. To divide, a cell must replicate the chromosomes, which carry the DNA (the instructions needed to build the body) ...

Caulobacter crescentus has emerged as a premier model for studying bacterial cell cycle regulation due to its distinctive asymmetric division, which produces two morphologically and functionally ...

We educate medical students, residents and practicing health care providers. Our division's faculty directs and contributes many of the lectures to the Cell and Molecular Biology course for the first ...
