After 40 years at Fred Hutch Cancer Center asking good questions of his own science and the science of his colleagues, cell biologist Jonathan Cooper, PhD has retired from the Basic Sciences Division.

The Basic Sciences Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center invite Ph.D. (or equivalent) students within two years of graduation or who have graduated within the past year to apply for a postdoc ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Accurate chromosome segregation and cell division are central to maintaining genomic integrity and ensuring proper development and tissue homeostasis. These processes rely on a complex network of ...

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...

Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours - sometimes more than a day - in a ...
