Study shows how key cause of cancer growth in cell formation may lead to prevention

The University of Warwick’s research gives fresh information on a major cause of cancer growth during cell division (or mitosis), as well as potential treatments for avoiding it.

Max Planck researchers reveal the structure of kinetochore corona

During cell division in a mother cell, the 23 chromosomes that carry the human genome must be first copied and later delivered to two newly forming daughter cells.

Confocal laser scanning microscopy captures high-resolution 3D images of cell division in microalgae

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae.

Simple lab model helps investigate the properties of muscle cells from sIBM patients

A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting.

Live-cell probes enable visualization of the elongation phase of transcription

A genetically encoded “live-cell” probe developed by scientists from Tokyo Tech pinpointed phosphorylated Ser2 in the enzyme RNA polymerase II.

Premature aging of the tracheobronchial stem cells could contribute to chronic lung disease

Are prematurely aged or overworked stem cells a significant factor in chronic lung disease? Findings of a study just released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM) say this is likely so.

Study suggests a simple mechanism could underlie the self-replication of protocells

Recent research suggests that a simple process could underlie the growth and self-replication of protocells—putative ancestors of modern living cells.

Study unravels novel centromeric functional protein

Scientists have discovered a new centromeric functional protein and dubbed it Adaptor of polo1 (Apolo1). The findings of the study were reported in Cell Reports.

Kinetochore modeling could help create artificial chromosomes

Mitosis, the mechanism of cell division, is an age-old process. Yet, the process has not been fully understood or replicated.

Research group reveals the essential role of Knl1 gene in plants

Dr. HAN Fangpu's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reports the identification and functional study of the maize Knl1 gene in an article published online in PNAS.

Absence of TRIM37 protein boosts genetic instability in patients with Mulibrey syndrome

Researchers from the Andalusian Centre for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER), in collaboration with the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) have studied the mechanisms behind the higher tendency of people with Mulibrey syndrome to develop tumors.

Study reveals mechanism through which plant hormone controls cell division

The mechanism through which cytokinin—a plant hormone—regulates the division of cells has been identified.

Study addresses mystery of how chromosomes are inherited during cell division

Starting as a single cell, organisms undergo millions of generations of divisions to ultimately generate the bones, heart, brain and other components that make up a living being. The mainspring within this intricate process is the transfer of DNA through each subsequent cell split within discrete packets called chromosomes.
