Bacterial cells do not wake up one morning and decide to become parents. But there is a point in their cell cycle—after growing sufficiently and replicating their genomes—when they split in two, ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

Flow cytometry is a widely used technique in modern research labs. It employs various principles to analyze the physical and biochemical characteristics of cells. Conventional flow cytometry ...

Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this re-entry is more common in Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study. The phenomenon may ...

Chromosomal instability (CIN) is pervasive in human tumours and often leads to structural or numerical chromosomal aberrations. Somatic structural variants (SVs) are intimately related to copy number ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biology, researchers identify and characterize extremely rare terminally differentiated brain neurons that re-enter the cell cycle process. More ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...

Yeast’s emergence as a model organism reshaped scientific discovery in cell biology, genetics, and more. Yeast is a ...
