Cell and nuclear division are fundamental processes by which eukaryotic organisms grow, maintain tissue homeostasis and generate specialised cell types. Division commences with replication of the ...

Nearly 90 years after Ugo Cerletti and Lucio Bini introduced electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), brain stimulation therapies ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...

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 ...

Fluorescence microscopy illustrates immune cell–mediated extraction of nuclear DNA from dying cells, highlighting a newly identified process called nucleocytosis. Over the years, cell biology has ...
