A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight ...
Team discovers transient rise in depletion attraction contributes to mitotic chromosome condensation
(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...
This important study demonstrates that a peri-nuclear actomyosin network, present in some types of human cells, facilitates kinetochore-spindle attachment of chromosomes in unfavorable locations - ...
Individual cells divide through a process called mitosis, during which the cell's copied DNA is separated between two resulting daughter cells. Despite recent advances in cell biology, the mechanism ...
Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...
Researchers at the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences have discovered that a little-known protein called ATF7IP2 helps to inactivate the X and Y chromosomes during cell divisions that lead to ...
