Contrary to what textbooks have claimed for over a century, cell division does not always follow the same pattern. Researchers have just demonstrated that cells can divide asymmetrically, ...

New research reveals that cells don't always become round before dividing, challenging over a century of textbook biology.

“During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parents assumes a spherical shape, which ...

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

Dividing cells, the researchers show, often don't round up into sphere-like shapes. This lack of rounding breaks the symmetry of division to generate two daughter cells that differ from each other ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells.

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester have changed our understanding of how cells in living organisms divide, which could revise what students are taught at school.In a Wellcome funded study ...

Cell division is the process of a cell splitting into two genetically identical daughter cells. The actin protein seen in this video is essential for successful cell division. While actin has several ...

The goal of the Stem Cell program is to conduct rigorous scientific studies to enhance our knowledge of normal and altered stem cell development and to advance treatments and improve outcomes for ...
