The quest to decipher the complex molecular events underpinning cell polarity and organelle segregation during eukaryotic cell division presents a formidable challenge. A predominant focus on ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

Somin Lee receives funding from the Air Force of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and National Science Foundation (NSF). Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

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 of protein fibers around it called a spindle. The spindle extends its many ...

Scientists have revealed new plant cell walls can have significantly different mechanical properties compared to surrounding parental cell walls, enabling cells to change their local shape and ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...
