A mixture of DNA and proteins—known as "chromatin"—sits inside every cell nucleus as a jumbled puddle of genetic information. As cells prepare to divide during mitosis, the chromatin is condensed into ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic material (chromosomes ...

Chromosomes continuously develop their shape during cell divisions. Mitotic chromosomes gradually shorten and thicken. Longer ...

The study will interest researchers studying genome organisation in mitosis. Genomes assume a complex 3D architecture in the interphase cell nucleus. Yet, the molecular mechanisms that determine ...

Mitotic kinase CDK1 phosphorylates LDHA at T18, reducing its incorporation into LDH tetramers and promoting formation of LDHB ...

In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four “half-copies”, in preparation for ...

One could call La Crosse business owner Joe Endrizzi a chemist when it comes to building neighborhood storefronts. He already grew and split one La Crosse business several years ago, and he’s about to ...

The human body is made up of billions of cells. These cells grow and divide through a process called cell division. There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a type of cell ...

The film "Mitosis" explores the process of cell division, specifically focusing on mitosis, which is essential for the growth and reproduction of living organisms. It illustrates how a single cell ...
