While mitosis is taking place, there is no cell growth and all of the cellular energy is focused on cell division. During prophase, the replicated pairs of chromosomes condense and compact themselves.

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae. Until now, little was known about ...

Memories of mitosis: Molecular mechanism that detects defects during cell division could aid cancer treatment A protein complex formed during abnormal cell division eliminates potentially harmful ...

First interactive model of human cell division Mitosis—how one cell divides and becomes two—is one of the fundamental processes of life.

How plants determine the plane of cell division in this process, known as mitosis, is being researched by Prof. Dr. Ralf Reski and Dr. Elena Kozgunova from the University of Freiburg in a joint ...

However, most fungi use a different form of cell division – called 'closed' mitosis – in which the nuclear envelope remains intact throughout the division process.

Cell division allows a single fertilized egg to develop into a living being, our skin to renew itself, and wounds to heal. Before each cell division, termed mitosis, the genetic information must ...

How plants determine the plane of cell division in this process, known as mitosis, is being researched by Prof. Dr. Ralf Reski and Dr. Elena Kozgunova from the University of Freiburg in a joint ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that ...

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae. Until now, little was known about ...
