For most proteins, these two opposing processes are dynamically balanced during the cell cycle, holding each protein at a constant (steady state) level. For some proteins (for example, cyclins ...

Self-organization concepts that were first developed in chemistry and physics and then applied to various morphogenetic problems in biology over ... the whole cell cycle: the oscillator (temporal ...

A team of CiRA researchers has uncovered the crucial role of EIF3D—a protein translational regulator—in primed pluripotency.

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 ...

Scientists have identified a new variant of the cell cycle that could provide insight into how diseases like cancer occur. Maggie Chen is a scientist and science journalist covering health, biology, ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...
