The cellular life cycle, also called the cell cycle, includes many processes necessary for successful self-replication. Beyond carrying out the tasks of routine metabolism, the cell must duplicate ...

Prometaphase is an extremely dynamic part of the cell cycle. Microtubules rapidly assemble and disassemble as they grow out of the centrosomes, seeking out attachment sites at chromosome ...

When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be estimated using the formula: \(\text{Length of time in phase}=\) \(\frac{\text{observed number of ...

Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur. Maggie Chen is a scientist and science journalist covering health, biology, ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...
