This unexpected ability opens the door for scientists to stimulate cellular mitosis and improve heart function after an ...

Mitosis is the stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle during which a single cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, ensuring proper growth, tissue repair and renewal, and ...

Cells can measure how long they spend in mitosis. If mitosis is prolonged due to problems during chromosome separation, the Mitotic Stopwatch Complex is formed, which may lead to cell arrest or cell ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

Normally, a cell's chromosomes are duplicated before the two identical sets migrate to opposite ends of the cell mitosis in a process called chromosomal segregation. One set of chromosomes is sorted ...

Findings reveal the likely reason why certain chemotherapies are effective for many patients. Importantly, they also help explain why attempts to find new chemo drugs based solely on stopping cellular ...
