How Do Cancer Cells Differ from Normal Cells? In normal cells, hundreds of genes intricately control the process of cell division. Normal growth requires a balance between the activity of those ...

World-leading cell biologist Dr Jonathon Pines aims to drive forward further advances into how cancer cells divide – and lay the groundwork for a new generation of anti-mitotic drugs – when he joins ...

As the tumour grows, cancer cells may fail to attach to each other, spreading through the body where they may form secondary tumours. This process is called metastasis. Characteristics Grow quickly.

Groups within the division are researching a wide variety of aspects of biology implicated in the origin and growth of cancer, including DNA replication and repair, cell division, signalling, ...

These CENP-A proteins ensure that divided genetic information is kept intact during mitosis.

Chemotherapy targets cancer cells by disrupting DNA replication and mitotic processes, despite side effects on healthy cells.

Thanks to a new study from Cancer Discovery ... Telomerase is related to telomeres, which are are used for cell division. The telomeres facilitate cell division and shrink with each division.
