Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.
Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...
It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...

How chromosomes shape up for cell division: Scientists reveal DNA loop formation mechanisms
Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...
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 ...
The cancer gene MYC camouflages tumours by suppressing alarm signals that normally activate the immune system. This finding ...
Combining statistical modeling with flow cytometry enables reliable, high-throughput quantification of division asymmetry in live cells, revealing how partitioning noise may shape tumor cell ...
