A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...

Scientists at the (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed to act as a motor ...

More work needs to be done to create viable human embryos, but the method might someday be used in IVF to help infertile people and male couples.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, but many only function as part of larger multi-protein machines. These complexes perform essential tasks, such as muscle contraction, energy production, and ...

An artificial cell membrane with machinery for cell division is a key step towards building a synthetic cell from the bottom-up with the ability to replicate itself. Synthetic cell membranes now being ...

Many cellular functions in the human body are controlled by biological droplets called Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets. These droplets, made of soft biological materials, exist inside ...

Cell division is key for life. Every organism – from the smallest yeast to complex human beings – depends upon the constant reproduction of individual cells. In this process, various mechanisms ensure ...
