Ordered progression through the eukaryotic cell cycle is driven by cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) complexes made up of a CDK catalytic subunit and an activating cyclin subunit. The dominant ...

The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle. The cell cycle contains 4 stages; Gap 1 (G1) phase, synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G2 ...

Every day, our cells are hard at work multiplying. Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes this process is impaired and diseases like cancer occur. Mitosis is one of the most important ...

The synchronous mitosis of early embryonic development switches to a patterned form at the 11th cell division following removal of a cell cycle compensatory mechanism, new research shows. An ...

Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes it can be impaired, allowing diseases such as cancer to develop. Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in collaboration ...

Cell division occurs through a series of checks and balances known as the cell cycle. This cycle has four main stages, called gap 1 (G 1), synthesis (S), gap 2 (G 2), and mitotic (M) phases. The ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...
