Researchers model genome copying-collating steps during cell division
Researchers from Virginia Tech and Oxford University have proposed a novel molecular mechanism for the living cell's remarkable ability to detect the alignment of replicated chromosomes on the mitotic spindle in the final ...

Newts' ability to regenerate tissue replicated in mouse cells
Tissue regeneration a la salamanders and newts seems like it should be the stuff of science fiction. But it happens routinely. Why can't we mammals just re-grow a limb or churn out a few new heart muscle cells as needed? ...

Flower organ's cells make random decisions that determine size
The sepals of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana -- commonly known as the mouse-eared cress—are characterized by an outer layer of cells that vary widely in their sizes, and are distributed in equally varied patter ...

Scientists discover link between control of chromosome duplication and segregation
Before a cell can divide into two, first it must duplicate its genetic material--the DNA packed in its chromosomes. The two new sets of chromosomes then have to be separated from one another and correctly distributed to the ...

Cell division orchestrated by multiple oscillating proteins, new research finds
(PhysOrg.com) -- New research takes the study of biological rhythms, like the heart beat, to a new level: the cell cycle. Scientists at Rockefeller University have proposed that the orderly succession of events in cell division ...
