The cell must also pass through a series of checkpoints that ensure conditions are favorable for division. In order to move from one phase of its life cycle to the next, a cell must pass through ...

From this understanding, scientists then identified the four characteristic phases of the cell cycle: mitosis (M), gap 1 (G1), DNA synthesis (S), and gap 2 (G2). The study of these phases ...

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

Stress caused by the missing MCL-1 protein triggered another protein, P53, which signals cell death. When scientists blocked ...
