This study shows that G1 lengthening follows critical dynamics that amplifies cell–cell variation. A novel mathematical model ...

"The prize recognizes the confluence of two different approaches to learning about the molecular machinery regulating the cell cycle," says Ira Herskowitz, professor in the department of biochemistry ...

Cancer is a significant cause of death worldwide and many efforts have been devoted to the development of methods for early detection. Telomerase are considered as a tumor biomarker for early ...

Researchers studying the molecular mechanisms that control cell growth and division are piecing together a surprising and complicated regulatory system that offers promising targets for anticancer ...

This is a graphical abstract, published with the Molecular Cell paper. Papagiannakis et al. performed metabolite and cell-cycle measurements in single cells to show that the cell cycle is a ...

Like embryonic stem cells, pluripotent stem cells can also specialize into any type of cell in the body by following biochemical cues. Scientists have been studying those cues and signals for a long ...
