Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
