University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have revealed how mistakes in the final step of cell division can have ...

Physical pressure can stop cancer cells from growing large enough to divide, revealing why squeezed tumors may stall.

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew in the 1966 science fiction classic "Fantastic Voyage"—one of their first ...

Shifts in interphase cell morphology tune the mode and symmetry of mitosis. Elongation of cells as they migrate in vivo, or upon micropatterning in vitro, switches cells to a newly defined isomorphic ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells—and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research ...

Scientists discover why some DNA-doubled cells don't die: Study ...

A new multimillion-pound study is set to investigate the intricate mechanisms of cellular "light switches" believed to play a crucial role in the development of cancer. Researchers at the University ...

Spindles are responsible for pulling apart your chromosomes when your cells divide. New research confirms a theory that these spindles self-organize and interact with one another much like active ...

New research from ChristianaCare and the University of Delaware shows how math can help unlock the body’s hidden blueprint for staying healthy This research is the product of more than 15 years of ...

Cells have many important processes and biochemical pathways. But some cells can go rogue, and refuse to obey the rules of these processes. Scientists have now discovered a rogue group of immune cells ...

Neil Hunter, a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, has discovered a crucial step in how chromosomes stay connected during the development for egg cells and sperm, ...
