Correct anchoring of the mitotic spindle to the cell cortex is essential for proper cell division. However, how the architecture of the cell cortex is coordinately remodeled during mitotic progression ...

All cells have a cell cycle, where they grow, copy their DNA, and spilt into new cells during cell division. There are two types of cell division – mitosis and meiosis. During meiosis, a diploid (2n) ...

Cells can measure how long they spend in mitosis. If mitosis is prolonged due to problems during chromosome separation, the Mitotic Stopwatch Complex is formed, which may lead to cell arrest or cell ...

Each day, hundreds of billions of cells in our body cycle through a period of growth and division. Yet in that time, only about 30 minutes is spent on the critical orchestration of mitosis, when ...

Amino acids are required for cell growth and proliferation, but it remains unclear when and how amino acid availability impinges on the proliferation-quiescence decision. Here, we used time-lapse ...

Biologists have uncovered a quality control timing mechanism tied to cell division. The 'stopwatch' function keeps track of mitosis and acts as a protective measure when the process takes too long, ...

Bengaluru, October 2026 Yeast grown inside soft, tissue-like 3D materials divide far more slowly — with almost no change in their genes or proteins A study from Dr Tapomoy Bhattacharjee’s group at ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...
