In yeast, the CDK and cyclin proteins that drive cell division activate first in the nucleus — a different location in the cell from where was previously thought. James E. Ferrell Jr is in the ...

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

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 ...

In a new paper published in Cancer Research, researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have shown that targeting a protein called TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3) can ...

The presented findings are important for the field of cell-cycle control. They provide new insights into the origin of cell size variability in budding yeast. The strength of evidence is solid.

When many cancers advance, spread and reoccur, checkpoint inhibitors can help keep difficult tumors at bay. These antibody-based immunotherapies can restore the body’s ability to recognize and ...
