New research into mitotic chromosomes has found that they are covered in a liquid-like coating that could allow them to bounce off one another, like bumper cars, protecting them from being damaged ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

Mitosis is a highly regulated process in which errors can lead to genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer. During this phase of the cell cycle, transcription is silent and RNA translation is ...

Cell division, or mitosis, guarantees the accurate inheritance of the genomic information kept in the cell nucleus. Malfunctions in this process cause a threat to the health and life of the organism, ...

Each day, hundreds of billions of cells in our body cycle through a period of growth and division. Yet in that time, only about 30 minutes is spent on the critical orchestration of mitosis, when ...

Synopsis Meiosis is a specialized cell cycle, where two consecutive divisions occur. This study quantifies the dynamics of thousands of phosphorylation events across the meiotic divisions in budding ...

Exit from mitosis is brought about by dramatic changes in the phosphoproteome landscape. A drop in Cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) activity, the master regulatory kinase, and activation of counteracting ...

Mitosis and meiosis are both processes by which cells reproduce, but there are distinct differences between the two. While new cells are generated during mitosis, meiosis is a special type of cell ...

Embark on an exciting journey to uncover the wonders of cell division as we explore mitosis and meiosis. In this captivating explanation, we'll delve into how cells divide and pass on genetic ...

Expression of genes in the meiosis I, reproduction, cell cycle, and DNA metabolism at 10, 12, and 14 dpf. One gene is represented by a line, and the color represents the expression level normalized by ...

Introduction Meiosis is the specialized cell cycle program which produces gametes with half the ploidy of their progenitor cells, thereby compensating for genome doubling at mating. This outcome is ...
