It is one of the most fundamental questions in science: how can lifeless molecules come together to form a living cell? Bert ...

An embryo consists of cells. These cells divide to make new cells, allowing the embryo to grow. The cells experience ...

Researchers discovered that PLK1 triggers a process ensuring centromere preservation during cell division by activating the ...

A Deep Dive into Dividing Cells Weady’s group is interested in biophysical modeling — or, as he puts it, how small-scale rules govern large-scale behaviors. In this case, his team wanted to ...

As cells grow and divide, they can experience stress from pushing against other cells. Through simulations and modeling of ...

Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains two copies.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC): The breast tissue lacks estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2 protein ...

Crowded cells form concentric circles by slowing growth, a study finds. Scott Weady's team's models could help manage harmful ...

A team has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of aging and inflammation. Japan's aging population is growing at an unprecedented rate, making it crucial to extend healthy lifespans rather ...

Researchers from Osaka University have revealed a close link between polyploidy and DNA damage, showing that the presence of ...

Researchers from the University of Freiburg have identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator that controls plant ...
