Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...

New research sheds light on embryonic mitosis, thanks to a combination of novel imaging techniques, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology, a modern protein-knockdown system, and medaka, or Japanese ...

Researchers use a light-activated protein to illuminate when embryos can cope with disruptions to cell division.Cell division ...

Scientists have pinpointed a stage in zebrafish embryo development where cells can better withstand disruptions to chromosome alignment during division. Using a light-activated tool to inhibit the ...

A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction. Cell division is a grand event which completely transforms the landscape.

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...

Working with human breast and lung cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many ...
