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 ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

Humans are multicellular organisms, a complex system of billions of cells of around 200 different types. These cells must divide and copy themselves to carry out essential processes such as growth and ...
