Science paper also describes Orc1’s mechanism of action. Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have discovered the protein that controls the copying of the centrosome in human cells and ...

The centrosome and spindle pole body community gathered for its triennial meeting from 12–16 September, 2008 at EMBL in Heidelberg (Germany). Microtubules and their constellation of associated ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The centrosome linker proteins C-Nap1, rootletin, and CEP68 connect the two centrosomes of a cell during interphase into one ...

All life on earth depends upon the process of mitosis or cell division in which the chromosomal content of a cell is equally divided between two new cells. For mitosis to occur, the chromosomes in ...

Mitosis is the process by which the genetic information encoded on chromosomes is equally distributed to two daughter cells, a fundamental feature of all life on earth. Scientists now examine how ...

Centrosome duplication is tightly controlled in co-ordination with DNA replication. The molecular mechanism of centrosome duplication remains unclear. Previous studies found that a fraction of human ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Scientists say they have found a new way to kill some multiplying human breast cancer cells by selectively attacking the core of their cell division machinery. Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...
