New research by EMBL scientists shows how different modes of cell division used by animals and fungi might have evolved to support diverse life cycles. Cell division is one of the most fundamental ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are the seventh-most prevalent form of cancer and are associated with human papilloma virus infection (HPV-positive) or with tobacco and alcohol use (HPV ...

Researchers from the Earlham Institute, in collaboration with the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford, have discovered three previously unrecognized lineages of the protist Bodo, each ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers map the diverse cell types present in healthy breast tissue to elucidate the role of genetic ancestry in breast cancer risk. Study: ...

Findings from a new study, led by researchers at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine and published in Nature Immunology, have uncovered key functional differences in macrophages—a type of white ...

Cells sitting side by side in the same tissues are not identical. Each cell carries its own subtly different chemical signature—a hidden individuality that can reveal how diseases take root and spread ...

Ichthyosporeans Sphaeroforma arctica and Chromosphaera perkinsii undergoing mitosis, depicted as two halves of a cell, rendered in Haeckel-inspired tones and a naturalist style. Cell division is one ...
