An Introduction to Cell Division
English
COMPARTILHAR
Visão Geral
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides and gives rise to two or more daughter cells. It is a means of reproduction for single-cell organisms. In multicellular organisms, cell division contributes to growth, development, repair, and the generation of reproductive cells (sperms and eggs). Cell division is a tightly regulated process, and aberrant cell division can cause diseases, notably cancer.
JoVE’s Introduction to Cell Division will cover a brief history of the landmark discoveries in the field. We then discuss several key questions and methods, such as cell cycle analysis and live cell imaging. Finally, we showcase some current applications of these techniques in cell division research.
Procedimento
Cell division is a process by which one cell produces two or more daughter cells. Unicellular organisms, like yeast, reproduce by cell division, whereas multicellular organisms, like us, use the same process to develop, grow, and maintain our tissues. Knowledge of what controls normal cell division is critical to understanding how disruption of this phenomenon can initiate pathological processes. This video presents a brief history of discoveries in the cell division field, highlights key questions asked by cell bio…
