Malignant melanoma is one of the most dangerous forms of cancer. Around half of melanomas and about 7% of all other cancers ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have revealed how mistakes in the final step of cell division can have dire consequences for developing brain cells. The findings offer important ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in individual cells. The improved resolution will promote advanced cell analysis ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example DNA damage or chromosomal instability. That's why our cells come with an innate ...

Researchers unveil a targeted approach that turns a tumor’s own chemistry against it, opening a new path in cancer research.

Researchers at the University of Liverpool have discovered that SYCP1, a protein previously thought to function only during ...

Scientists have identified a molecular switch that may help explain how colorectal cancer becomes deadly. When levels of a gene-regulating factor called GATA6 drop, cancer cells can shed their normal ...

Abstract:Cancer cells depend on coordinated changes in metabolism and epigenetic regulation to sustain growth, divide under stress, and adapt to therapy.
