Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

Researchers use a light-activated protein to illuminate when embryos can cope with disruptions to cell division.Cell division ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

Researchers have identified a shared protein checkpoint, GSK3α, that maintains stem cell identity across multiple types, potentially streamlining lab cultivation for therapies. In a separate advance, ...

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to divide quickly to enable rapid growth, but it's important not to introduce ...

A new comprehensive review reveals that harnessing natural killer (NK) cells by blocking their “off-switches” could significantly enhance cancer immunotherapy, providing new avenues for treating solid ...
