Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...
In most known bacterial species, cell division starts with the formation of the cytokinetic ring, the Z-ring, at the cell’s middle 1,2. In Escherichia coli, the Z-ring consists of FtsZ protofilaments ...
For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...
Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...
Researchers have identified a shared protein checkpoint, GSK3α, that maintains stem cell identity across multiple types, potentially streamlining lab cultivation for therapies. In a separate advance, ...

Cells that double their DNA through failed division survive far better than those from botched chromosome splits, a clue to how some cancers take hold
Cells that acquire a doubled genome after a failed division step survive and proliferate far more effectively than cells left ...
Natural killer (NK) cells are pivotal in the innate immune response against cancer and viral infections, with their presence in tumors correlating to better patient outcomes in various cancers.
