Tumor cells can lapse into a sleep-like state and thereby evade the destructive effect of cancer drugs. In some types of the ...

Cells that double their entire genome do not all share the same fate. New research published in the Proceedings of the ...

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 ...

A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy is detrimental to regular cells, it occurs in as many as 90% of tumors. How ...

Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by the interplay of fission and fusion proteins, are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Fission facilitates glycolysis, mitophagy, apoptosis, ...

You might think of cancer as a mass of rogue cells that grow uncontrollably. But cancer is more organized and strategic than ...

For decades, scientists have been all about DNA when it comes to cancer. But new research from Virginia Tech and Tel Aviv ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

When heart cancer does happen, it can be particularly serious. Olga Pankova/Moment via Getty Images You probably know someone who is affected by cancer. This disease results when cells divide ...

Researchers have revealed a surprising new role for a key protein in cell division. The discovery, reported in two back-to-back papers, challenges long-standing models and textbook accounts in biology ...
