More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only ...

A new approach triggers meiosis, the cell division process responsible for producing egg and sperm, to aid future fertility treatments.

During mitotic and meiotic cell divisions, the spindle fibers bind chromosomes via a special region called the centromere to pull sister chromatids apart.

Meiotic recombination assures genetic variation during breeding. During meiotic prophase I, chromosomes are organized in a loop-base array by a proteinaceous structure called meiotic chromosome ...

During mitotic and meiotic cell division, the spindle fibres bind the chromosomes via a special region, the so-called centromere, and pull the sister chromatids apart so that each daughter cell ...

Due to their critical roles in mitosis, topoisomerases are important chemotherapy targets for cancer patients. Topo II is present in many different cells including cells that are undergoing the ...

During mitotic and meiotic cell division, the spindle fibres bind the chromosomes via a special region, the so-called centromere, and pull the sister chromatids apart so that each daughter cell ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 68, No. 20 (September 2017), pp. 5471-5483 (13 pages) Meiosis is a specialized cell division that produces haploid gametes required for sexual reproduction. During ...

The JASON (JAS) protein plays an important role in maintaining an organelle band across the equator of male meiotic cells during the second division, with its loss leading to unreduced pollen in ...
