Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

The kinetochore connects chromosomes to spindle microtubules, corrects attachment errors, and triggers the separation of sister chromatids. It is built from more than 100 proteins, grouped into around ...

Scientists discover why some DNA-doubled cells don't die: Study ...

Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome separation during cell division. By studying related yeast species, ...

The above representative microscope images showcase ultra-fine bridges, a kind of abnormal link between chromosomes that causes catastrophic genetic instability. These bridges, composed of entangled ...

A new study shows that how a cell fails to divide after copying its DNA can determine its fate. Cell division is one of the most fundamental and complex processes underpinning life. In human cells, ...
