By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...
The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...
In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...
A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...
A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...
To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...
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 ...
