In the late 1970s and 1980s, the flowering of molecular biology allowed cell biologists, biochemists and geneticists to join forces and better understand the working of the cell cycle in molecular ...

Nature Cell Biology - The irreversibility of cell-cycle transitions is commonly thought to derive from the irreversible degradation of certain regulatory proteins. We argue that irreversible ...

When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be estimated using the formula: \(\text{Length of time in phase}=\) \(\frac{\text{observed number of ...

Single-cell characterization of healthy fallopian tubes revealed shifts in cell and gene expression throughout the menstrual ...

The Arnoult lab focuses on genome stability, DNA repair and telomere biology. We study the different types of pathways that cells use to repair DNA double strand breaks, and how telomeres escape these ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

Sample exam questions - cell biology - AQA Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and ...
