Prior to the advent of the tools and technologies for live-cell imaging, biologists relied on single snapshots of cellular events to understand how cells function. Yet without the ability to observe ...

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 ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
