A new method can capture detailed information about all four phases of the cell cycle in real time using fluorescent proteins. Michael Lin was always curious about cell biology, but he became ...

KANSAS CITY, MO - In textbooks, the grand-finale of cell division is the tug-of-war fought inside dividing cells as duplicated pairs of chromosomes get dragged in opposite directions into daughter ...

Nobody wants to be average. But for a long time, scientists have found it convenient to think of bacterial cells as just that: "average." Researchers have traditionally relied on population-level ...
