Cells contain various specialized structures—such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes—known as "organelles." Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures ...

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 ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

Two recent studies in Drosophila demonstrate that overexpression of proteins required for centriole duplication can not only induce centriole over-duplication in cells containing centrioles, but can ...

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 ...

Cells contain various specialized structures - such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes - known as "organelles''. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins say they have learned that most cells will not divide without centrioles, and they found out why. The p53 protein, already known to prevent cell division for other reasons, ...

Investigators from the UEx have developed a methodology with new algorithms to analyze the location of the centriole in a model cell. Thanks to this technology, they have been able to discover how the ...

This news release is available in German. The duplication of cellular contents and their distribution to two daughter cells during cell division are amongst the most fundamental features of all life ...
