They identified over 800 mRNAs that Pfk2 binds in living cells, many of which code for proteins involved in controlling the mitotic cell cycle (the process by which a cell divides into two). Unwinding ...

The eukaryotic cell cycle orchestrates the orderly duplication and segregation of genetic material through distinct phases—G₁ (growth and monitoring), S (DNA synthesis), G₂ (preparation for division) ...

Five years ago, scientists watched in wonder as synthetic bacteria grew and split into daughter cells. The bacteria’s extremely stripped-down genome still supported its entire life cycle. It was a ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...
