For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.

Common ocean bacteria struggle to divide when conditions change, reshaping how warming seas affect ecosystems.

Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web ...

Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is fundamental to biology. Every cell inherits the same protein and DNA building blocks that make up the cell it ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease. A living ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new tool to predict how cancer cells evolve. By focusing on chromosome ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...

Every time a stem cell divides, one daughter cell remains a stem cell while the other takes off on its own developmental journey. But both daughter cells require specific and different cellular ...
