(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of life. From bacteria to blue whales, every living being on Earth relies on cell division for growth, reproduction, and species survival. Yet, ...

During division, the membrane also formed visible bridges between the two daughter cells that stretched and eventually broke. The creation and eventual breakage of these bridges lasted an average of ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Somin Lee receives funding from the Air Force of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and National Science Foundation (NSF). Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is ...
