Scientists have gained new insight into the process of mitosis in mammalian cells. Researchers have succeeded in deciphering a heretofore unknown mechanism that plays a key role in cell shape changes ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

A new interactive map of the proteins involved in cell division gives the ability to track how groups of proteins interact to drive the process of mitosis. Researchers have created a 4D computer ...

Conly Rieder, one of the leading members of the mitosis community, closed his laboratory last year. He has left a big hole in the field, partly because of his larger-than-life persona, but more ...
