The Science Of Thick Skin
The thick skin on the soles of the feet and other parts of the body is maintained by high-frequency basal cell division, researchers have found.
Cells Form ‘Pockets’ That Orient Cell Division: Study
How a cell divides relative to the animal’s body axis is controlled by a unique cell membrane structure, a study finds.
Researchers Develop Haploid Embryonic Stem Cells
The 'half strength' genome of the haploid stem cell line could help researchers better understand the function of genes.
Keeping Two Eyes On Chromosome Alignment
The RanGTP-Ubr5-BuGZ-Bub3 signaling axis helps to guarantee spindle checkpoint silencing, ensuring proper cell division.
How To Get From DNA To Chromosomes
Single-stranded DNA needs to first be returned to the double-helix structure before it can be densely packed into chromosomes, researchers say.
Why Human Eggs Don’t Age Well
Defective chromosome separation in the egg cells of older women can cause miscarriage and congenital diseases, scientists say.
Touchpoints Of The Chromosome Scaffold
Condensin, a protein complex that acts as a scaffold to protect DNA during cell division, also play a protective role in response to heat stress.
