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

The adult heart may be trying to repair itself after a heart attack—it just struggles to finish the job. For decades, the adult heart was treated as an organ with almost no ability to replace the ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science have pioneered a method using blue light to trigger cell division, a ...

LISA uses light-induced Aurora A clustering to stimulate microtubule formation, restore spindle assembly, and rescue cell ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

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 ...

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 ...
