Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many ...

By mapping the subcellular architecture and protein interactions within cells, researchers can better understand how mutations contribute to pediatric cancers and other conditions.

A human cell contains 46 chromosomes ... a fertilized egg would contain 92 chromosomes and be untenable. Meiosis, a type of cell division specific to reproduction, avoids this by halving the ...

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell ...

Without cell division, long-term tissue survival would ... For instance, the cells that make up human epithelial tissue attach to one another through several types of adhesive junctions.

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

A next goal of the research group is to understand the role of Plk1 in the specialized division of egg cells, called meiosis. Human egg cells, for example, spend decades in the prophase state.

The proteins involved in cell division events no longer appropriately ... development and spread of primary tumors within a human body. Transplantation of transformed cells into "humanized ...

Though the genetic code of a human being is contained within 46 ... Meiosis, a type of cell division specific to reproduction, avoids this by halving the number of chromosomes in a cell.

As the tumour grows, cancer cells may fail to attach to each other, spreading through the body where they may form secondary tumours. This process is called metastasis. Characteristics Grow quickly.
