(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Arteriovenous malformations, a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, may be driven by endothelial cell-cycle acceleration via CDK6, suggesting potential for repurposing CDK6 inhibitors.

The journey started with an enigma in the zebrafish embryo: some endothelial cells, actively involved in the initial stages of the development of the earliest blood vessels, were dividing in an ...

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...
