Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

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

Before a cell divides into two, it must first copy its DNA, so that each new cell receives a complete set. Occasionally, what ...

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 ...

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive structural supports. But a new study reveals they play a far more active signaling ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...
