Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

Daughter cells vary significantly after stress In addition to real-time measurements under the microscope, the researchers examined various endpoints, such as the strength of different stress signals ...

During animal cell division, a highly synchronized and tightly regulated dance of chromosomes takes place, ensuring the chromosomes split correctly into the two cells. Spindle fibers - complex ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Cells are tiny, so we use microscopes to see their details. A slide is a thin piece of glass used to hold objects which are examined under a microscope. Peel a thin layer of cells from an onion. Place ...
