Memories of mitosis: Molecular mechanism that detects defects during cell division could aid cancer treatment
Every day‚ our cells are hard at work multiplying. Cell division is a precise process‚ but sometimes this process is impaired and diseases like cancer occur. Mitosis is one of the most important phases in the cell cycle. During this phase‚ a cell's DNA is split into two equal sets of chromosomes and it divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.
