Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle of a living cell in four dimensions, capturing how the genetically minimal ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...

Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...

Scientists from Japan reveal the crystal structure of a cell cycle motor protein, which could be a potential anticancer drug candidate Anticancer drugs are pivotal to cancer treatment, but their ...

The review emphasizes how breakthroughs in understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell cycle regulation have paved the way for the development of targeted anti-cancer agents. Notably, inhibitors of ...

Geared toward a younger audience (but honestly, who among us doesn’t love cell animations?) the Cell and Cell Structure app is a great educational resource for those looking for a beautifully ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...
