Team of researchers monitored neural stem cells and identified decisive moments in the beginning of the complex process of cell division that results in a copy of genetic information.
A team of researchers from the Institute for Research Innovation in Health (I3S) of the University of Porto and the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) managed to decipher some of the decisive steps in the process of replicating a cell. Looking at neural stem cells, the scientists realized that there is a moment when genetic information is compressed and when the cell emits a kind of signal that starts this complex process of cell division. The result of this operation…
