Mitosis is the mechanism by which a eukaryotic cell divides its nucleus and chromosomes to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. This biological process ensures the faithful transmission ...

Cell biologists say they have, for the first time, directly observed and recorded in animal cells a pathway called branching microtubule nucleation, a mechanism in cell division that had been imaged ...

Cell biologist Thomas Maresca and senior research fellow Vikash Verma at the University of Massachusetts Amherst say they have, for the first time, directly observed and recorded in animal cells a ...

The protein NEK7 regulates neuron formation, as it is required for dendrite growth and branching, as well as the formation and shaping of dendritic spines. The protein NEK7 regulates neuron formation, ...

A biological process taught to every pupil studying science at high school has just become a little more complicated thanks to a new discovery published today. Scientists from the University of Bath ...

In the cell, microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) dynamically nucleate microtubules and arrange them in functional patterns, but microtubule anchoring to MTOCs is not well understood. A novel ...
