New research from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute shows that a new class of drug results in cell death in cancers, such as small ...

Recently, he was awarded a $1.6 million grant over five years by the National Institutes of Health to further his research.

Mitosis and meiosis are two kinds of cell division that are essential to most forms of life on earth. Here we investigate the key differences and similarities between the two processes.

The stages of mitosis vs. meiosis The stages of mitosis are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, sometimes followed by cytokinesis. “Interphase” is a blanket term which describes ...

Here, we analyze the behavior of fission yeast cells arrested in mitosis through the transcriptional silencing of the Cdc20 homolog slp1. While depletion of slp1 readily halts cells in metaphase, this ...

Topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) is a core component of mitotic chromosomes and important for establishing mitotic chromosome condensation. The primary roles of TOP2A in mitosis have been difficult to dec ...

High-resolution single-cell mass accumulation and protein synthesis rate measurements are used to quantify the extent, dynamics and consequences of animal cell growth in mitosis and cytokinesis.

STEPS IN MITOSIS There are four mitotic phases, namely, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. There is an additional stage in plants called Peprophase. 1. PROPHASE During Prophase, the nuclear ...

Metaphase: The nuclear membrane dissolves and the mitotic spindle latches on to the sister chromatids at the centromere. The mitotic spindle can now move the chromosomes around in the cell.
