Many specialized cells in adult organs acquire a state of cell cycle arrest and quiescence through unknown mechanisms. Our limited understanding of mammalian cell cycle arrest is derived primarily ...

The “cell cycle” or “mitotic cycle” is a series of sequential processes effective in cell growth and division, producing daughter cells with identical genetic characteristics. To convert one cell into ...

There is a growing view that the U.S. business cycle has changed (for better) in a more diversified economy. To some, that sounds like tempting fate. By Talmon Joseph Smith For much of modern history, ...

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 ...

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 ...

We are interested in how human cells decide to divide, the signalling regulating mitotic entry and its interplay with DNA-damage checkpoints. Entry into mitosis is regulated by a complex signalling ...

Centrosomes are best known as the microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) of eukaryotic cells. In addition to their classic role in chromosome segregation, centrosomes play diverse roles unrelated to ...

The significance of this proposed mitotic chromosome architecture is that a specific, sequenced chromosome, human chromosome 10, can be built into a specific architecture that accounts for the ...

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 ...
