Like so many organisms on the planet, when cells experience mosh-pit-level crowding, they may just become stressed. Yet unlike most other life forms, cells subject to physical stress from crowding by ...

Every moment, millions of a body's cells flawlessly divvy up their genes and pinch perfectly in half to form two identical progeny for the replenishment of tissues and organs — even as they collide, ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, ...

Researchers have made a major discovery about how cells control when to divide – representing a step forward in scientists’ understanding of one of the most fundamental processes of life. Their study ...

Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is fundamental to biology. Every cell inherits the same protein and DNA building blocks that make up the cell it ...

Left: Normal cell division with the chromosomes (blue) lined up and ready to be pulled into two separate daughter cells by the two centrosomes (green). Right: In faulty cell division, too many ...

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few humans to treat disease. Since its invention, scientists have improved, ...

Researchers are targeting dormant tumour cells that might explain why some cancers reappear long after successful treatment.

Our bodies are made up of about a hundred million million (100,000,000,000,000) tiny cells. You can only see them under a microscope. Cells group themselves together to make up the tissues and organs ...
