Researchers from the University of Manchester have determined that the process of cell division does not always occur symmetrically. This discovery may significantly impact how tissues develop and ...

Biology study reveals cells defying reproduction rules, showing how shape impacts division and tissue growth. The post ...

New research reveals that cells don't always become round before dividing, challenging over a century of textbook biology.

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parents assumes a spherical shape, which ...

Tumor cells in colorectal cancer exploit an important signaling pathway that normally controls embryo development.

“We found that the shifts in cell morphology that shape tissues could…trigger asymmetric division and direct core identity decisions underpinning tissue building.” If the asymmetry leads to ...

Co-lead author Dr. Holly Lovegrove, a lecturer at The University of Manchester said, "Using transparent 1-day-old zebrafish embryos allows us to study a dynamic process like cell division inside a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in ...

Sep. 16, 2024 — Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after ...

Surprisingly, embryos demonstrate a high degree of flexibility in responding to disruptions in this process. The study, now published in Cell, reveals that no single master regulator controls this ...
