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 ...

How is a normal cell transformed into a cancerous cell? The proteins involved in cell division events no longer appropriately drive progression from one cell cycle stage to the next. Cells that ...

Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this re-entry is more common in Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study published April 9 in ...

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, ...

Today, attention is turning to understand how non-proliferating cells, cells that have exited the cell cycle, retain their capacity to re-enter when necessary. In the past, this labs study of G1 ...

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 ...
