Cell division is key for life. Every organism – from the smallest yeast to complex human beings – depends upon the constant reproduction of individual cells. In this process, various mechanisms ensure ...

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

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

An international research team has made an unexpected discovery of a biased counting mechanism used by the single-celled green alga Chlamydomonas to control cell division. An international research ...

Whole genome duplication can arise through different division failures, with distinct effects on chromosome balance, cell ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...
