Sentences with phrase «humans during cell division»
Researchers led by Prof. Torsten Ochsenreiter of the Institute of Cell Biology at the University of Bern have studied the mitochondria, the «power plants» of single - cell trypanosomes, and have now discovered that these behave differently from cell power plants in humans during cell division.

This new insight into how chromosomes are disassembled and reassembled during cell division will allow researchers to begin answering basic questions about epigenetic inheritance, as well as human disease such as chromosome disorders and cancer.
Paulo Navarro - Costa, first co-author of this study and researcher at the IGC explains: «Similarly to humans, fruit fly ovules also have a resting period during meiosis — the specialized cell division required for the formation of healthy reproductive cells.
Where the second type of condensin, which is present in humans and other multicellular organisms, binds during cell division is another future line of inquiry.
The approach developed by the MGH team focuses on small areas of the human genome — so - called polyguanine (poly - G) repeats that are particularly susceptible to mutation, with genetic «mistakes» occurring frequently during cell division.
The team used ChromEMT to image and measure chromatin in resting human cells and during cell division (mitosis) when DNA is compacted into its most dense form — the 23 pairs of mitotic chromosomes that are the iconic image of the human genome.
Such perfect division depends on the position of the mitotic spindle (chromosomes, microtubules, and spindle poles) within the cell, and it's now clear that human cells employ two specific mechanisms during the portion of division known as anaphase to correct mitotic spindle positioning.
For a systems - level understanding of all crucial protein interactions during cell division, we are combining automated single molecule calibrated imaging and computational data analysis with advanced machine learning and modelling approaches to build an integrated protein atlas of the human dividing cell.
