The study of the cell cycle focuses on mechanisms that regulate the timing and frequency of DNA duplication and cell division. As a biological concept, the cell cycle is defined as the period ...

Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur. Maggie Chen is a scientist and science journalist covering health, biology, ...

How is a normal cell transformed into a cancerous cell? The proteins involved in cell division events no longer appropriately drive progression from one cell cycle stage to the next. Cells that ...

I wanted to find out the cause,” he said. Back then, Takhaveev planned to extend a previous study where data suggested that metabolic oscillations in yeast work in synchrony with cell cycle regulators ...

to keep a complex organism like humans alive, an immense number of new cells must be continuously produced. Up close, each of these cell divisions is nothing short of a ...

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 phase} = \frac{\text{number of cells at that state}}{\ ...
