Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...

Scientists studying zebrafish larvae noticed something weird. Skin cells seemed to be dividing without replicating their DNA. They confirmed that what they were seeing was real, upending what we ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our results reveal a fascinating choreography inside the hair follicle," said paper author professor Inês Sequeira.

When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...

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 ...

Cell proliferation rates provide insights into relative cell health and are a widely used diagnostic indicator for numerous cancer types. In immunology, measuring cell proliferation is particularly ...

As nearly one in six couples experience fertility issues, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is an increasingly common form of ...

Scientists have found that human hair growth does not grow by being pushed out of the root; it's actually pulled upward by a ...
