When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

Some bacteria do not defeat antibiotics by evolving resistance right away—they outlast treatment by slipping into ...

A new study reveals that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to grow, ...

The circadian rhythm is the body's clock, and it influences physiology at the cellular level; it can help animals, including humans, know when it's time to eat, wake up or go to sleep. Recent work has ...

Researchers have demonstrated how bacteria coordinate cell division with the replication of their genetic material. In an interdisciplinary study they explain why the current concept of the bacterial ...
