The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...

New research by EMBL scientists shows how different modes of cell division used by animals and fungi might have evolved to support diverse life cycles. Cell division is one of the most fundamental ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biology, researchers identify and characterize extremely rare terminally differentiated brain neurons that re-enter the cell cycle process. More ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...

Life begins with a single cell. It grows, copies its DNA, divides and repeats the cycle billions of times — a process that has powered every living organism on Earth for billions of years. Scientists ...
