Biology study reveals cells defying reproduction rules, showing how shape impacts division and tissue growth. The post ...

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

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

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 ...

Within multicellular organisms, tissues are organized communities of cells that work together to carry out a specific function. The exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of ...

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 ...

Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a parent cell dividing into two daughter cells. The genetic information within each of these daughter cells is ...

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 ...

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 ...
