Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby -- or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

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 ...

Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this cell cycle re-entry and accumulation of resulting senescent neurons is more common in Alzheimer’s ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biology, researchers identify and characterize extremely rare terminally differentiated brain neurons that re-enter the cell cycle process. More ...
