A Université de Montréal study has found a previously unknown mechanism in bacterial reproduction that could be attacked by ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive ...

Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...
