The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

This study shows that G1 lengthening follows critical dynamics that amplifies cell–cell variation. A novel mathematical model ...

Why do we need to understand the dynamics of the cell cycle? The cell cycle is a mechanism that controls and integrates the stages of DNA synthesis, mitosis, and cell division. This mechanism dictates ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

UT Southwestern researchers have identified a new mechanism by which stress causes cells to stop dividing. Using techniques created at UT Southwestern, the team identified a protein in yeast that ...

Around the globe, heart disease remains one of the top causes of death. Once patients begin to suffer from serious heart ...
