To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

Another protein central to this process is NuMA, which is essential for spindle pole organisation. Normally, NuMA gathers at ...

A mathematical model provides new insights into the distribution of genetic information during bacterial cell division The precise segregation of DNA and the faithful inheritance of plasmids are ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...
