New insight into how human cells reproduce could help scientists move closer to finding an "off switch" for cancer. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and can move from one part of the body to another ...

It's a Wednesday morning at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in downtown Washington, D.C., and Dr. Eli Adashi is opening an unprecedented gathering: It's titled "In-Vitro ...

Neurons result from a highly complex and unique series of cell divisions. For example, in fruit flies, the process starts with stem cells that divide into mother cells (progenitor cells), that then ...

Genes control this production process by telling the cells either to divide --and which particular type of cell to produce-- or to stop dividing. To this day, only a few of the genes that control this ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has yielded a new discovery: The proper transfer of genetic materials depends on ...

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 retain ...

LITTLE is known about the reproduction cycle of mumps virus. This seems strange, as some of the techniques available for influenza virus should be applicable to this virus, which is in many ways ...

A team has identified many genes that are important in fruit flies' neuron development, and that had never been described before in that context. Neurons result from a highly complex and unique series ...
