Scientists have revealed new plant cell walls can have significantly different mechanical properties compared to surrounding parental cell walls, enabling cells to change their local shape and ...

Cell division is governed not only by biochemical signals but also by a finely tuned balance of mechanical forces and material properties within the cell. From the stiffening of the mitotic cortex ...

The cycling properties of mammary stem and progenitor cells is not well understood. To determine the division properties of these cells, we administered synthetic nucleosides for varying periods of ...
