Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Symmetry is a fundamental characteristic of most multi-cell animals. However, the cell division of embryonic cells is asymmetric. A team led by Prof. Dr. Esther Zanin at the Department of Biology at ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from ...

Scientists say they need better access to human brain tissue to understand how dementia, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, autism, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...

An epigenetic factor that is essential for producing mature egg cells in mice has been identified by RIKEN researchers for ...

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.

This looks like a “little purple pill” but is actually a fruit fly embryo undergoing a wave of cell division, traveling from one end of the embryo to the other. Look closely and try to guess which ...

Bruker has formed a new, single division out of the various spatial biology assets it has acquired over the years. Now under a single operational banner, it includes the company’s previous Bruker ...

Labroots and the Cell Biology Planning Committee are pleased to announce the 9th Annual Event in the Cell Biology Virtual Event Series 2025 on September 17th, 2025. This event provides an opportunity ...
