A tiny, freshwater flatworm found in ponds and rivers around the world that has long intrigued scientists for its remarkable ability to regenerate has now added a new wrinkle to biology. Reporting in ...

A basic requirement for growth and life of a multicellular organism is the ability of its cells to divide. A protein complex, the so-called centrosome, plays a major role during cell division.

Researchers provide insight into an old mystery in cell biology, and offer up new clues to understanding cancer. Scientists have unraveled the mystery of how cells count the number of centrosomes, the ...

The centrosome is a small, non-membrane-bound organelle endowed with the remarkable capacity to nucleate and organize microtubules. It consists of a pair of centrioles — structures analogous to the ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a powerful AI tool that reveals previously invisible patterns inside breast cancers. It uncovers how tiny cellular structures called ...

Researchers have developed a powerful AI tool that reveals previously invisible patterns inside breast cancers. It uncovers how tiny cellular structures called centrosomes change as tumours grow, ...

BENGALURU: Scientists from IISc’s Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology (MCB) have found a way to use blue light to switch on a key part of the machinery that helps cells divide, and have used ...
