Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur.

Asynchronous cell cycle phase key to critical stage of animal embryonic development Researchers reveal that control, timing of cell division phases act like a switch in regulating chordate ...

The cell cycle is the process in which a growing cell duplicates all of its DNA, copying each base precisely once, and then divides into two daughter cells. It consists of four phases: S, for ...

Medically reviewed by Laura Young, MD The luteal phase of the menstrual cycle occurs from just after ovulation, when an egg is released from the ovary, to the day before menstruation. During these 12 ...

New ways to understand metabolism offer pathways for advances in human health and disease Chinese researchers have decoded the metabolic cycle of yeast using mathematical analysis, revealing striking ...

Somatic cell cycle consists of four phases while early embryonic cell cycle alternates between S and M phases without intervening G1 and G2 phases.

Their next question was: when in the mother cell cycle does a cell decide if its daughter cells will divide? To answer this, the researchers removed and replaced the growth factors – which give the ...

The authors used nutrient-starved S. cerevisiae as a model for the resting phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Over a period of 9 days, they carried out poly (A) RNA dot-blot hybridization and ...

Learn about mitosis and the cell cycle, what happens when cells are cancerous, why cells must differentiate and how stem cells could be used.

The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle. The cell cycle contains 4 stages; Gap 1 (G1) phase, synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 ...

The cell cycle is a complex process that involves the growth and division of a cell. It is divided into four phases: G1, S, G2, and M. During each phase, the cell undergoes a series of events that ...

What are the menstrual cycle phases, and how much do they really affect your health? Four medical experts explain.
