Cancer is somewhat like an evolutionary process. Over time, cancer cells accumulate multiple mutations in genes that control cell division. Learn how dangerous this accumulation can be.

Some cells can turn cancerous when they divide, due to chromosomes getting “lost” in the process. Researchers have now uncovered what happens to these lost chromosomes and how to recover them ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

This research may help the understanding of uncontrolled cell division and other unknowns of the cell cycle. “Cdh1 is a largely under-appreciated tumor suppressor. Although it blocks S phase, Cdh1 isn ...

“Cell cycle events are coordinated by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) to ensure robust cell division,” they wrote. “CDK4/6 and CDK2 regulate the growth 1 (G1) to synthesis (S) phase ...

Cook and Mouery also found that cancerous and non-cancerous cells can escape drug-induced proliferation arrest and that the escapee cells have a difficult time replicating DNA on their own. A ...

Remnant of cell division could be responsible for spreading cancer. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 10 / 231007200934.htm ...

Cell division is a crucial process in the body, but cancer cranks it into overdrive with often deadly results. Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have identified a protein that ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

Some long-lived fungi species appear to be able to use a special type of cell division to stop cell mutations in their tracks, reducing the chances of cancers growing, scientists have discovered.
