Cell Division in 3D This video shows a 3D view of a cell undergoing cell division. You can see the actin filaments, labeled in orange, as they help separate various cellular components into each ...

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae. Until now, little was known about ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental biological functions, but there’s still so much about it that we don’t understand. In an attempt to find out more, researchers have now managed to ...

A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also overexpressed in many types of cancer.

Runaway cell division, which is the hallmark of cancer, is also serious business. No wonder then that biologists have been studying cell division for as long as they've known about cells.

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that ...

Summary Although most cells produce two equal daughters during mitosis, some can divide asymmetrically by segregating protein determinants into one of their two daughter cells. Interesting ...
