Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a separate process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells. Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in ...

With meiosis in a female, there is only one dividing cell at this point. As in telophase I, the cytoplasm of the cell will be concentrated in one of the two emerging cells. The resulting large ...

In contrast, the DNA of prokaryotic cells is distributed loosely around the cytoplasm, along with the protein synthesis machinery. This closeness allows prokaryotic cells to rapidly respond to ...

Cells make up all life on Earth. Cells are the smallest unit of life. All cells have specific structures, called components. Models in science are used to help us understand complicated ideas in a ...

These viruses are unusual in that they replicate entirely in the cytoplasm of host cells and form large DNA-filled replication compartments. To evade antiviral response pathways in its host ...

Cytoplasmic flows guide chromosome positioning during embryogenesis. During the first stages of animal embryo development, the egg cell undergoes multiple divisions without growin ...

Sister cells are a pair of cells that share the same mother cell. In a new study published in Developmental Cell, researchers led by Université de Montréal (UdeM) professor Greg FitzHarris show ...

The molecular glues in this case increase the binding between 14-3-3 proteins and ChREBPα, which is anchored in the cytoplasm of the beta cell by the 14-3-3 proteins. Under conditions of ...
