The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few ...

UCT hosted its final inaugural lecture of its 2025 series on 20 November. It was delivered by Prof Wendy Burgers in the New ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. To achieve this, duplicated chromosomes, known as ...

Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893), the first major international clinical neurologist. In this celebration year, symposia, exhibitions, and congresses have highlighted Charcot's seminal contributions: ...

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in ...

The function of a key protein in the cell division process has been newly discovered, a result that overturns existing models and explanations found in textbooks. This achievement is expected to ...

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor dragging chromosomes into place during cell division, in ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

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 ...
