The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

The human body is made up of billions of cells. These cells grow and divide through a process called cell division. There are ...

For chromosomes to form the iconic X-shape that ensures the accurate passing of genetic information during cell division, a ...

An international team of researchers co-led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, have identified rules that ...

"Only these features allowed us to recapitulate the native structure of mitotic chromosomes in our model and understand how they can be segregated during cell division." In the future, the ...

The cell undergoes a type of cell division called mitosis. In mitosis, two cells called daughter cells are produced, each identical to the parent cell. When looking at cells with a microscope ...

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 ...
