Cell division, the basic means by which genetic information is passed from generation to generation, involves tightly coordinated movements of a cell's DNA. This page describes the major phases of ...

Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. While mitosis is taking place, there is no cell growth and all of the ...

Metaphase Chromosomes and their copies line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase Chromosomes and their copies are pulled to different ends of the cell. Telophase New membranes form around the ...

Exquisite insight into chromosome separation reveals the intricate relationships between molecular changes and large-scale ...

RPE-1 cells adapt to aneuploidy in vitro, a process characterized by reduced CIN and inflammation. This study shows that this ...

My research focuses on the segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes are the bodies that contain our DNA and it’s critical that each cell has the correct DNA in the correct quantity ...

The discovery of a molecular process that slows down cell division could provide new understanding about how some cancers develop. J. Maciejowski, H. Dreschler, K ...

The density reaches a maximum in late mitosis (anaphase), when mitotic chromosomes are most condensed. A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and ...

Abstract: The proper control of mitosis depends on the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the right mitotic regulator at the right time. This is effected by the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome ...

Nucleosomes were most constrained when chromosomes were being moved to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase, a specific phase of cell division. These constraints were loosened during ...

Changing nutrient environments challenge cells as they affect both protein biosynthesis and cell cycle length. This work ...
