What am I looking at? These images show a single cell in the middle dividing into two so-called daughter cells. The stage of the cell division process represented here is called anaphase. In these ...

Oncotarget published "NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibition induces cell cycle arrest and anaphase catastrophe in malignant T-cells" which reported that peripheral T-cell lymphoma is characterized by ...

The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multisubunit ubiquitin ligase that regulates progression through the cell cycle by marking key cell division proteins for destruction. To ensure ...

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 ...

An estimated 20% of the oocytes in young women are aneuploid, and this percentage increases with age 1,2. Aneuploidy is a leading genetic cause of miscarriage, congenital birth defects and mental ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 103, No. 35 (Aug. 29, 2006), pp. 13250-13255 (6 pages) The Arabidopsis HOBBIT (HBT) gene encodes a homolog of the ...

Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) controls multiple aspects of mitosis and is activated through its phosphorylation at Thr210. Here we identify Ser99 on Plk1 as a novel mitosis-specific phosphorylation site, ...
