Every day, our cells are hard at work multiplying. Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes this process is impaired and diseases like cancer occur. Mitosis is one of the most important ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

Cells can measure how long they spend in mitosis. If mitosis is prolonged due to problems during chromosome separation, the Mitotic Stopwatch Complex is formed, which may lead to cell arrest or cell ...
