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

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 ...

Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.

MADISON - A cellular structure discovered 125 years ago and dismissed by many biologists as "cellular garbage" has been found to play a key role in the process of cytokinesis, or cell division, one of ...

Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

A fertilized egg of an animal can be easily removed, and the process of cell division can be observed alive. However, a fertilized egg of a plant cannot be removed and observed alive since it lies ...

Bacterial cell division, a process wherein a single cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, represents one of the most essential biological processes. Understanding the precise mechanism ...
