As in mitosis metaphase, (and unlike meiosis metaphase I), fibers from the centrioles begin to pull on each one of the chromosomes from both directions.

Like mitosis, meiosis also has distinct stages called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. A key difference, however, is that during meiosis, each of these phases occurs twice — once ...

Cell division, the basic means by which genetic information is passed from generation to generation, involves tightly coordinated movements of a cell's DNA. This page describes the major phases of ...

Using two specialized microscopes invented at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), a team of researchers from Japan and ...

This valuable study uses robust time-dependent microscopy assays to show that during HIV-1 infection, the viral accessory protein Vif causes cell cycle arrest during metaphase and not G2/M as ...

The relaxation time refers to the delay in the beads' magnetic response to changes in field direction. The researchers hypothesized that this delay combined with the effect of the alternating ...

During periods of high inflation like the one we've been living in, it can be a real challenge to find safe investments that will pay off without lagging the economy horribly. This is where ...

of optical trapping and tweezing of polystyrene beads, and mouse lymphoblast cells. In their paper, titled “Optical tweezing of microparticles and cells using silicon-photonics-based optical ...

For over two decades, Ebunoluwa Farinde-Yussuf, the founder and Creative Director of Gallereno Works, has turned her passion for beadmaking into a thriving business that goes beyond fashion.

But what he was actually spewing out of his butt were Orbeez: water toys made from super-absorbent polymer that expand over a few hours from tiny, marshmallow-like beads to the size of a S$1 coin.
