Yeast cells have a cell wall, like plant cells, but no chloroplasts. Yeast can reproduce by producing a bud. The bud grows until it is large enough to split from the parent cell as a new yeast cell.
The fundamental problem of how cells reproduce has been studied intensely ever since dividing cells were first observed by microscopy. Since, the discovery in the seventies and eighties of the ...
Not all mutations that lead to cancerous cells result in the cells reproducing at a faster, more uncontrolled rate. For example, a mutation may simply cause a cell to keep from self-destructing.
In 2012, scientists created live-born baby mice using eggs that began their life as skin cells on a mouse tail. More recently, the technique has been used to facilitate same-sex reproduction.
Researchers at Kumamoto University have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in stem cell biology by reproducing the developmental process of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro. This culture ...
The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...
Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from asexual to sexual reproduction, nature took a system by which parent cells reproduced simply by dividing (asexual reproduction ...
"For example, the ability to manipulate exactly how many proteins are released will enable us to count exactly how many mutated receptors are required to make a cell reproduce itself ...
TASS/. Molecular biologists from Germany confirmed that the novel coronavirus is capable of penetrating human heart cells and discovered that it can reproduce there, causing breaks in heartbeat ...
