A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order.

You began when egg and sperm met, and the DNA from your biological parents teamed up. Your first cell began copying its newly melded ... Scientists had suspected since the discovery of DNA’s structure ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...

Researchers have discovered how egg cells prepare for life by studying the Balbiani body, a structure that organizes key molecules for early embryonic development. Using zebrafish and advanced imaging ...

Photos of bare grocery refrigerator cases and tales of egg prices gone wild have been rampant on social media this winter. The scenes aren’t manufactured drama. The Agriculture Department noted ...

It's not just your local shop. In fact, egg prices have increased nationwide by about 38% in the past year, bringing the average cost of one dozen up to $3.65 in November versus $3.37 in ...

In the 1870's biologists knew that, as a rule, animal egg cells would start to develop only when they had been "fertilized" -- whatever that meant. But good microscopes and new techniques of ...
