Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes it can be impaired, allowing diseases such as cancer to develop. Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in collaboration ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the ...

All life on earth depends upon the process of mitosis or cell division in which the chromosomal content of a cell is equally divided between two new cells. For mitosis to occur, the chromosomes in ...

For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of cell division in ...

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. Until now, little was known about how ...

Mitosis is the process by which the genetic information encoded on chromosomes is equally distributed to two daughter cells, a fundamental feature of all life on earth. Scientists now examine how ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

Researchers developed a deep-learning model for artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize mitotic cells, which is easy-to-use, easy-to-train, and aimed at non-data scientists. Advancements in ...

A new interactive map of the proteins involved in cell division gives the ability to track how groups of proteins interact to drive the process of mitosis. Researchers have created a 4D computer ...
