	Cell division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Cell division (or local doubling) is the process by which a cell, called the parent cell divides into two cells, called daughter cells.
		Cell divisions is usually a small segment of a larger cell cycle.
		Furthermore, the pattern of cell division that transforms eukaryotic stem cells into gametes (sperm in males or ova in females) is different from that of eukaryotic somatic (non-germ) cells.

	Cell cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cell cycle, or cell division cycle, is the cycle of events in a eukaryotic cell from one cell division to the next.
		The cell cycle is regulated by cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases.
		They can let the cell know whether to repair the damage or initiate programmed cell death, a form of which is called apoptosis.

	Cell Division: The Role Of Mitosis And Meiosis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Division of the cytoplasm (referred to as cytokinesis) separates the two equal pools of genetic material into identical daughter cells.
		Mechanistically, this is identical to the nuclear division associated with mitosis except that the cells are haploid instead of diploid.
		The mitotic index is the ratio of dividing cells to the total number of cells in a population.

	Cell Division and Mitosis
		Cells need to replicate the chromosomes before dividing to ensure that the newly formed cells contain the same genetic material (chromosomes).
		Students are to make a model of a cell which is in the process of mitosis and cell division.
		There needs to be a cell border for interphase, prophase (perhaps one for early and late prophase), metaphase, a partially dividing cell for anaphase, a nearly totally divided cell for telophase, and two new cells for the daughter cells.

	CELL DIVISION: BINARY FISSION AND MITOSIS
		The Cell Cycle is the sequence of growth, DNA replication, growth and cell division that all cells go through.
		Cancer cells are those which undergo a series of rapid divisions such that the daughter cells divide before they have reached "functional maturity".
		Whereas mitosis is the division of the nucleus, cytokinesis is the splitting of the cytoplasm and allocation of the golgi, plastids and cytoplasm into each new cell.

	Mitosis - cell division
		Unless a cell is about to divide, or is in the process of dividing, the chromosomes within its nucleus are not obvious.
		The two new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell and are identical to it and to each other.
		Another type of cell division is meiosis, which results in the formation of 4 new cells which have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

	Lab 3 Cell Biology
		A non-dividing or interphase cell is not a resting cell, as it is sometimes described, since it is during this period that the cell carries out all of the normal activities (growth, respiration, protein synthesis, etc.) of the cell with the exception of division.
		Within dividing cells, the S phase is critical in that this is the period during which the DNA is replicated in preparation for the next division.
		Cells not destined to divide again (i.e.: certain epithelial cells, nerve cells, differentiated muscle cells, etc.) stop in the G1 phase and never enter the S phase.

		Two consecutive divisions of a particular cell type, which results in four daughter cells that have half of the chromosome number of their mother cell.

	UW-Madison, Cell Division
		The discovery promises a better understanding of the role of cell division in the growth and development of all organisms and, critically, of abnormal cell division, when the key proteins fail.
		However, just as cell division is the key to life, failures in the process can lead to certain diseases, says Skop.
		"The problems ranged from cells where chromosomes failed to separate normally, leaving extra DNA in one of the new cells, as is seen in Down's syndrome, for example, to cells in which the dividing membrane would begin to form normally and would suddenly retract before the cells could separate," Skop says.

	ISSCR :: Scientists : Topic of the Month January 2004
		Asymmetric cell divisions are characteristic of any occasion when the two daughters differ in fate, whether or not "stem cell" is one of the fates.
		In the case of the stem cell, the cell's first step must be to divide and to produce one daughter like itself, able to continue as a stem cell, and one daughter unlike itself, able to go down a path of differentiation.
		In the case of Volvox, an asymmetric cell division generates cells different only by size, and then by as yet unknown mechanisms the size of the daughter cell leads to activation of either a somatic or germline program.

		The process of cell division is driven by a cascading path of signals, with each event catalyzed by a unique enzyme.
		Scientists from LBL's Structural Biology Division, in collaboration with colleagues at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco, have achieved an important step toward realizing this strategy -- by solving the three-dimensional structure of a key protein that triggers the last step of the events which culminate in cell division.
		Various types of kinases are involved in the chain of reactions that follow cell stimulation by a growth factor.

	SUGAR HELPS CONTROL CELL DIVISION
		The comings and goings of the sugar on proteins seem to be important controllers of cell division, say the researchers.
		In experiments with human cells and mouse cells, Slawson and his colleagues showed that preventing a cell from removing the sugar from proteins causes the cell to copy its genetic material and make new nuclei, but to fail to divide in two.
		On the other hand, cells that had higher than normal amounts of the enzyme that removes the sugar from proteins ended up with nuclei that didn't look right under a powerful microscope.

	Prokaryotic cell division protein FtsZ
		The septum is formed through the inward growth of cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall material that invaginates from opposing directions at the central plane of the cell (2, 7).
		It is a tightly regulated process that involves spatial and temporal controls that function to coordinate the physiological status of the cell, the replication of the chromosome, and chromosomal segregation with cellular division (2, 7).
		Much concerning the regulatory mechanisms that coordinate the cell cycle and timing of division, as well as many aspects of the division process itself, remains elusive and a clearer understanding of these processes is desirable (4).
