Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of life. From bacteria to blue whales, every living being on Earth relies on cell division for growth, reproduction, and species survival.

New discovery on how green algae count cell divisions illuminates key step needed for the evolution of multicellular life Date: November 13, 2023 Source: Donald Danforth Plant Science Center ...

Chlamydomonas cells, like those of many other algae and single-celled protists, can grow very large before they divide. This atypical growth and division pattern lets them make optimal use of ...

Cell division is a grand event which completely transforms the landscape. The cell starts behaving like the host of an international competition, reconfiguring entire streets, relocating buildings ...

By considering the cell’s shape and the filaments’ curvature, the team demonstrated how the death of misaligned FtsZ filaments aids in forming the bacterial division ring.

By Paul McClure October 08, 2023 A study has found that the midbody (tiny green dot in the center) left over after cells divide could be a vehicle for the spread of cancer Skop Lab View 1 Images ...

When it is time for cell division, and the genetic information needs to be passed on to the next generation, DNA must be packed particularly tightly. (AI-generated Image). Credit: MPI Dortmund ...
