A new study revealed how defects in the final stage of cell division disrupt brain development and may contribute to cancer.

During the final stage of cell division, the future daughter cells are physically separated through abscission. This process requires coordination of many molecular machines, including endocytic and ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have shed new light on how our brains develop, revealing that the very last step in cell division is crucial for the brain to reach its proper ...

Researchers have uncovered the genetic pathway that controls abscission in the plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. The ability to control abscission in plants is of special interest to those in the ...

A research team has made significant strides in understanding the mechanisms of fruit abscission in woody fruit crops, an essential process affecting fruit yield and economic value. This review ...

As Valentine's Day fades into the past, you may be noticing a surfeit of petals accumulate around your vase of flowers. A study sheds new light on the process that governs how and when plants shed ...

Whether it's beautiful red and yellow leaves falling during the autumn months, or a ripened fruit dropping from a tree, this natural process is called abscission. In the fall, as days shorten and ...
