A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...

Cells that double their DNA through failed division survive far better than those from botched chromosome splits, a clue to how some cancers take hold
Cells that acquire a doubled genome after a failed division step survive and proliferate far more effectively than cells left ...
Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

A cellular glitch just caught skipping cell division — cells quietly double their DNA but never split, leaving a genetic mess now tied to cancer and aging
A cell copies all of its DNA, gears up to split in two, and then just… doesn’t. It sits there, swollen with a double genome, ...
Working with human breast and lung cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many ...
Five years ago, scientists watched in wonder as synthetic bacteria grew and split into daughter cells. The bacteria’s extremely stripped-down genome still supported its entire life cycle. It was a ...
Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...
