The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The study, led by Dr. Rod Bremner, a Senior Investigator at the ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan have developed a nanoplasmonic sensor that can measure cell division over extended periods and detect biomolecules with high ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease. A living ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Left: Normal cell division with the chromosomes (blue) lined up and ready to be pulled into two separate daughter cells by the two centrosomes (green). Right: In faulty cell division, too many ...

For a cell to progress through the G1 phase of the cell cycle and divide, it must first integrate various signals. It emerges that cells in a ‘primed’ G1 state — characterized by intermediate ...

When heart cancer does happen, it can be particularly serious. Olga Pankova/Moment via Getty Images You probably know someone who is affected by cancer. This disease results when cells divide ...

Researcher are now able to rebuild the switch that remodel the cytoskeleton. Images of an anaphase cytoskeleton in a dividing cell (left) and when rebuilt in vitro (right). PRC1 (green) crosslinks ...
