If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

A subtle failure during cell division can set off dramatically different outcomes, according to new research exploring whole ...

Researchers have revealed a surprising new role for a key protein in cell division. The discovery, reported in two back-to-back papers, challenges long-standing models and textbook accounts in biology ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
