  2. Mitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

    In animal cells, cell division with mitosis was discovered in frog, rabbit, and cat cornea cells in 1873 and described for the first time by the Polish histologist Wacław Mayzel in 1875. [18] [19] Bütschli, Schneider and Fol might have also claimed the discovery of the process presently known as "mitosis". [13]

  3. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Enclosing the cell is the cell envelope, generally consisting of a plasma membrane covered by a cell wall which, for some bacteria, may be further covered by a third layer called a capsule. Though most prokaryotes have both a cell membrane and a cell wall, there are exceptions such as Mycoplasma (bacteria) and Thermoplasma (archaea) which only ...

  4. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Cell division over 42. The cells were directly imaged in the cell culture vessel, using non-invasive quantitative phase contrast time-lapse microscopy. [38] In 2022, scientists discovered a new type of cell division called asynthetic fission found in the squamous epithelial cells in the epidermis of juvenile zebrafish.

  5. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.

  6. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 using a microscope. The first cell theory is credited to the work of Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden in the 1830s. In this theory the internal contents of cells were called protoplasm and described as a jelly-like

  7. Scientists Discovered the Secret to Perfect Cell Division - AOL

    The fact that PLK-1 endures in the cells of tumors shows that it endures in general, and is involved in mitosis (the division of cells for replication) under even extreme body conditions like ...

  8. Theodor Boveri - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Boveri

    [6] [7] He also discovered, in 1888, the importance of the centrosome for the formation of the spindle during mitosis in animal cells, which he described as the especial organ of cell division. [6] Boveri also discovered the phenomenon of chromatin diminution during embryonic development of the nematode Parascaris. [8] [9]

  9. Neuronal cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal_cell_cycle

    The Neuronal cell cycle represents the life cycle of the biological cell, its creation, reproduction and eventual death. The process by which cells divide into two daughter cells is called mitosis. Once these cells are formed they enter G1, the phase in which many of the proteins needed to replicate DNA are made. After G1, the cells enter S ...
