For the first time, scientists have built a detailed, interactive map of a human cell, revealing how thousands of proteins ...

As viewed from a human perspective ... the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA. (Cytokinesis describes the division of the rest of the ...

These are found in an early embryo. These cells are able to divide continuously. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that all of the genes in an embryonic stem cell can be expressed ...

By mapping the subcellular architecture and protein interactions within cells, researchers can better understand how mutations contribute to pediatric cancers and other conditions.

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many ...

Without centromeres, cells cannot divide properly and the overall ... discovery in 1985 of antibodies that reacted with human centromeres. Specifically, during that year, researchers William ...

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell ...

A next goal of the research group is to understand the role of Plk1 in the specialized division of egg cells, called meiosis. Human egg cells, for example, spend decades in the prophase state.

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell ...

This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division ... parent cell dividing into two daughter cells. The genetic information within each of these daughter cells is identical. A human ...

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.
