Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

Cells grow and replicate their DNA, and then they divide. Learn the substages of this iterative pattern, called the cell cycle. How does a cell regulate these stages?

Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur.

Most eukaryotic cells divide and produce identical copies of themselves by increasing their cell volume and duplicating their DNA through a series of defined phases known as the cell cycle.

What regulates protein kinase activity during cell division? Interestingly, protein kinases phosphorylate each other as well as act on common targets. Aa Aa Aa The cell cycle allows faithful ...

Multiciliated cells, cells with hundreds of hair-like structures that move called cilia, keep things like mucus in the lungs and cerebrospinal fluid in the brain flowing in the right direction.

A new method can capture detailed information about all four phases of the cell cycle in real time using fluorescent proteins. Michael Lin was always curious about cell biology, but he became ...

7. What is cell cycle arrest? What is the function (s) of cell cycle arrest? When is it activated? How is it regulated? What is the link between cell cycle arrest and apoptosis? What may happen if ...

In individual yeast cells, essential biosynthetic processes peak at different times in the cell cycle, revealing a temporal dynamic once thought limited to DNA synthesis.

Researchers identified a major obstacle to converting cells back to their youthful state -- the speed of the cell cycle, or the time required for a cell to divide. When the cell cycle accelerates ...

The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle.

Our bodies are made up of millions of tiny cells grouped into tissues and organs. The cells grow and divide to replace old or damaged cells.
