In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G 1, S, G 2, and M. The S or synthesis phase is when DNA ...
The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby – or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...
A new Nature Chemical Biology study reveals that the ubiquitin ligase RLIM tags the m6A writer METTL14 with noncanonical ...

Hour Clock"?When studying biology, you encounter mysterious numbers.In human cultured cells, there are cases where the time ...
When cells adapt to new challenges, they often do so by reshuffling their genomes on a grand scale. A new study published in ...
In a tale of identities as divergent as "The Prince and the Pauper," a well-known cancer-causing gene also influences cells in a zombie-like state meant to prevent cancer. Scientists at Sanford ...
Bacterial cells do not wake up one morning and decide to become parents. But there is a point in their cell cycle—after growing sufficiently and replicating their genomes—when they split in two, ...
The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...
