Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells ...

He showed that specialized cells retain the genes to form an organism.

Cell division is one of the most thoroughly studied processes in biology, yet many of its details remain mysterious. A century-old puzzle surrounding the "crown" of cell division—the kinetochore ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have accomplished a unique proof of concept to treat infertility by turning ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Madeline Lancaster has been announced as the new Joint Head of the LMB’s Cell Biology Division.

What am I looking at? This is a time-lapse video showing the dynamic nature of the ER in monkey kidney cells as they undergo cell division. The density of the ER network is represented by the ...
