Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have ...

Professor Jonathon Pines’s group is investigating how cells regulate cell division and divide genetic information evenly between cells when they separate. Our research focuses on how cells trigger ...

The basic structure of most animal and plants cells is shown below. All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...
