Among the many marvels of life is the cell’s ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

A human cell contains 46 chromosomes ... a fertilized egg would contain 92 chromosomes and be untenable. Meiosis, a type of cell division specific to reproduction, avoids this by halving the ...

As the tumour grows, cancer cells may fail to attach to each other, spreading through the body where they may form secondary tumours. This process is called metastasis. Characteristics Grow quickly.

Without cell division, long-term tissue survival would ... For instance, the cells that make up human epithelial tissue attach to one another through several types of adhesive junctions.

Here, the authors present a proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of the human cell cycle in nontransformed cells using deep quantitative mass spectrometry by isobaric labelling. The exact role ...

Though the genetic code of a human being is contained within 46 ... Meiosis, a type of cell division specific to reproduction, avoids this by halving the number of chromosomes in a cell.

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.
