All life on earth depends upon the process of mitosis or cell division in which the chromosomal content of a cell is equally divided between two new cells. For mitosis to occur, the chromosomes in ...

Scientists have discover that certain cell structures, the centrioles, could act as information carriers throughout cell generations. The discovery raises the possibility that transmission of ...

How cell division occurs and is coordinated with organismal development is subject of intense research interest, as is how this process malfunctions in the development of tumors. Researchers have been ...

EPFL scientists discover that certain cell structures, the centrioles, could act as information carriers throughout cell generations. The discovery raises the possibility that transmission of ...

Centrioles, the barrel-shaped organelles best known for their role in cell division, may also put their stamp on early embryos. In a newly fertilized embryo, the centrioles that are present come ...

Most knowledge on centrioles has been built by studying dividing animal cells in a narrow group of species, like flies or humans. “Recent technological advances in several fronts allow us to study ...

Le centriole est une structure composée de neuf triplets de microtubules. Il joue un rôle essentiel dans la division cellulaire et la formation du cil et du ...

Specialized cells in our bodies have custom genetic Xerox machines to make a ton of fibrous cilia, scientists at John Hopkins University School of Medicine have found. Most cells in the body have just ...

Centrioles are barrel-shaped structures inside cells, made up of multiple proteins. They are currently the focus of much research, since mutations in the proteins that make them up can cause a broad ...
