Scientists have gained new insight into the process of mitosis in mammalian cells. Researchers have succeeded in deciphering a heretofore unknown mechanism that plays a key role in cell shape changes ...

In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four “half-copies”, in preparation for ...

The activity on this page has been designed by educational experts to help you learn the three stages of mitosis through a hands-on experience. Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are ...

Mitosis is an essential process for the growth and repair of every living organism, throughout its lifespan. In this month's flipbook, we invite you to journey through the key phases of mitosis, ...

I loved my science courses when I was in Junior High School; we leaned to make batteries, how molecules combine to form the world we see around us, and basically I got a picture of where we stood in ...

The APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex; also known as the cyclosome) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates the ubiquitylation of key substrates for their degradation by the proteasome at precise ...

The synchronous mitosis of early embryonic development switches to a patterned form at the 11th cell division following removal of a cell cycle compensatory mechanism, new research shows. An ...

The other type of mitotic failure, which causes generation of lagging chromosomes, chromosome bridges and/or micronuclei formation, is the premature onset of anaphase without prolonged mitotic arrest.
