Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the ...

Researchers from Japan and France have successfully reconstituted the development of mouse egg cells, known as oocytes, from ...

The control of cell size through the coordination of cell growth and division is a longstanding fundamental problem. A study in fission yeast shows that TOR controls entry into mitosis through the ...

The process involves both nuclear division and cytokinesis and can either produce two equal cells (symmetric cell division) or two cells with different cellular fates (asymmetric cell division).

According to a recent study, mitotic chromosomes are coated in a liquid-like coating that could enable them to bounce off one ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

Dynamical Cell Systems Group Professor Chris Bakal’s group uses genomic approaches and computational modelling to understand how complex biochemical signalling networks are ‘rewired’ during the ...
