Mitosis is the stage of the eukaryotic cell cycle during which a single cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, ensuring proper growth, tissue repair and renewal, and ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes it can be impaired, allowing diseases such as cancer to develop. Researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in collaboration ...
