A subtle failure during cell division can set off dramatically different outcomes, according to new research exploring whole genome duplication. A new study finds that the way a cell fails to divide ...

A new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers found that cancer cells are better able to resist treatments when they have ...

Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

Cell division is one of the most fundamental and complex processes underpinning life. In human cells, thousands of molecules ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

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 ...

If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Even scientists were unaware that mitosis is not always symmetrical—until recently. Led by biologists ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...
