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

Tarun Kapoor is tackling a deceptively tricky biochemical challenge: how to speed up the internal machinery of living cells.

The presented findings are important for the field of cell-cycle control. They provide new insights into the origin of cell size variability in budding yeast. The strength of evidence is solid.

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

The curved geometry of a fertilized zebrafish egg sets the conditions for a cascade of cellular events that shape the embryo’s earliest developmental stages, according to research from the Institute ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Since the start of her career, Jennifer DeLuca has been fascinated by mitosis, the everyday biological process of cell division: how it works, which proteins and cellular machineries are involved, and ...
