Team discovers transient rise in depletion attraction contributes to mitotic chromosome condensation
(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...
Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

A starting signal for cell division: Molecular switch ensures that cells divide at the right time
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 ...
When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...
During division, the membrane also formed visible bridges between the two daughter cells that stretched and eventually broke. The creation and eventual breakage of these bridges lasted an average of ...
Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...
