A previously unknown mechanism required for cells to start proliferating has been identified. A combination of mathematical modelling and cell-based experiments shows that the enzyme WEE1 switches off ...

More than 30 years after the direct connection was established between the molecular machinery controlling cell division and ...

A Nature study shows that the WEE1 kinase promotes cell cycle re-entry from quiescence by phosphorylating CDH1 to inhibit the ...

Bengaluru, October 2026 Yeast grown inside soft, tissue-like 3D materials divide far more slowly — with almost no change in their genes or proteins A study from Dr Tapomoy Bhattacharjee’s group at ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

Wee1 inhibitors are a promising new cancer treatment, but serious side effects threaten their adoption in the clinic. Now, ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel University has solved the long-standing mystery of how the bacterium B.

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...

A simplified two-compound drug cocktail, 2SM, promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and improved heart function after ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...
