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 ...

I talked to two ob-gyns and two mental health experts to find out what happens to menstruating people’s bodies and minds ...

Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together.

Scientists still disagree on whether viruses are truly alive or not. What scientists can agree on is that a virus adapts to ...

Humans like to think that being multicellular (and bigger) is a definite advantage, even though 80% of life on Earth consists ...

The symposium covers broad areas of single cell omics from spatial interactions to gene regulatory networks, with methodologies ranging from multiomics to RNA velocity and long-read sequencing, ...

Cells are complex and marvelous structures invented over the course of evolution, the true origin of life as we know it. The diversity of animals and plants we enjoy is not due to the catalogs of ...

In contrast, the function of pioneer activity in self-renewing cell divisions and across the cell cycle is poorly understood. Here we assessed the interplay between OCT4 and SOX2 in controlling ...

including the mitotic blocker arabinofuranosyl cytidine (AraC), a genetic cell cycle block, X-irradiation and the NG2Cre/iDTR mouse line. The very efficient repopulation occurred either immediately or ...

Therefore, Emi1 needs to be inactivated in mitosis so that the APC can become active and promote progression to the next phase of the cell cycle. It was previously shown that Emi1 is destroyed during ...

Different studies have shown that p30 also influences cell cycle progression. The G2/M checkpoint is regulated by a tight balance of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events, where Cdc25c plays a ...
