A new study has finally resolved a controversy that cellular biologists have been arguing over for nearly 50 years, with findings that may aid research on everything from birth defects and genetic ...

To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

A key molecular step required for the division of damaged mitochondria—essential for cell health—has been identified by a University of Bristol-led study. The finding has the potential to establish ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have discovered that how a special protein complex called the Mediator moves along genes in DNA may have an impact on how cells divide. The discovery may be ...
