At the Allen Institute for Cell Science, researchers worked with visualization experts to create a new tool that shows a 3-D detailed image of a dividing human stem cell.

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, ... using Volvox carteri as an example.

Asymmetric cell division, which occurs when a mother cell gives rise to two daughter cells with different fates, is crucial for generating diversity during development and for the function of stem ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, ... Human egg cells, for example, spend decades in the prophase state.

There have been two types of cell division that we've known about for a long time, and they have been studied extensively. Organisms that reproduce sexually have a certain population of cells called ...

To test this hypothesis, the team analyzed cell replication rates in samples of various healthy tissues collected during biopsies and other medical procedures from more than 300 patients in their ...
