Cancer begins with uncontrolled cell growth damaging organs. Six cancers, including lung, breast, and colorectal, lead global ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease. A living ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Could a natural check on cancer be used to stop the disease? It’s possible, but to leverage a system that nature designed, we must first understand it. Researchers led by a team ...

A new study published today in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer ...

Researchers have discovered how a compound found in a caterpillar fungus may be able to disrupt the out-of-control cell growth that drives cancer. The findings represent an important step toward ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Researcher are now able to rebuild the switch that remodel the cytoskeleton. Images of an anaphase cytoskeleton in a dividing cell (left) and when rebuilt in vitro (right). PRC1 (green) crosslinks ...
