Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction. Cell division is a grand event which completely transforms the landscape.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...
