Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the ...

If the cell cycle were like a particular score played by a molecular orchestra, E2F7 was a new conductor, guiding the same instruments in that orchestra to play a new tune, the multiciliation cycle.

Cell cycle speed is key to making aging cells young again Date: January 30, 2014 Source: Yale University Summary: Researchers identified a major obstacle to converting cells back to their youthful ...

Furthermore, cell cycle-dependent alterations of TERT mRNA expression in HeLa cells was reconfirmed by qPCR. The similar responses of telomerase activity were also given by evaluated with using ...

Cell cycle exit is reversible during cellular quiescence, a process essential for stem cell maintenance and thereby for tissue regeneration. Quiescent tumour stem cells are present in early cancer ...

Although the cell cycle of eukaryotes has been described in molecular detail, the bacterial cell cycle remains poorly understood. Genome sequencing projects have shown that the main regulators of ...

"Evolution clearly has adapted the cell cycle to carry out a variety of cellular projects well beyond cell division," said Reiter. "It'll be exciting to see what else it's capable of." RELATED TOPICS ...
