In addition, the field of stem cell biology is closely linked to cell cycle regulation because these pluripotent cells can divide slowly over long periods and yet initiate growth and ...

Systems biology aims to understand this complexity ... mathematical models meet single cell genomics. Cell Cycle 5, 1788–1798 (2006). Maxam, A. M. & Gilbert, W. A new method for sequencing ...

The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious disease killer globally, is the first single-celled organism ever observed ...

The tuberculosis bacterium has been identified as the first single-celled organism to maintain a consistent growth rate ...

A fundamental question in cell biology is how cells sharing the same DNA produce drastically distinct phenotypes. In one organism, the same genome allows for the development of different tissues, ...

When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be estimated using the formula: \(\text{Length of time in phase}=\) \(\frac{\text{observed number of ...

We use our lips to talk, eat, drink, and breathe; they signal our emotions, health, and aesthetic beauty. It takes a complex ...

Cytokinesis is a key event in the cell cycle requiring tight coordination of mitotic spindle assembly, actomyosin contractility and membrane dynamics, but the mechanisms that regulate cytokinesis are ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...
