  2. Mitotic index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitotic_index

    The mitotic index is a measure of cellular proliferation. [1] It is defined as the percentage of cells undergoing mitosis in a given population of cells. Mitosis is the division of somatic cells into two daughter cells. Durations of the cell cycle and mitosis vary in different cell types. An elevated mitotic index indicates more cells are dividing.

  3. Phylo (video game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylo_(video_game)

    Developed by the McGill Centre for Bioinformatics, it was originally released as a free Flash game in November 2010. Designed as a game with a purpose, players solve pattern-matching puzzles that represent nucleotide sequences of different phylogenetic taxa to optimize alignments over a computer algorithm. By aligning together each nucleotide ...

  4. Proliferative index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proliferative_index

    Cells in the mitotic phase are identified by the typical appearance of their chromosomes in the cell during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. [4] Usually the number of mitotic figures is expressed as the total number in a defined number of high power fields, such as 10 mitoses in 10 high power fields.

  5. Tutorial (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutorial_(video_games)

    In the context of video game design, a tutorial is any tool that teaches player or non-player characters [1] the rules, control interface, and mechanics of the game. Some tutorials are integrated into the game, while others are completely separate and optional. Games can have both of these at once, offering a basic mandatory tutorial and ...

  6. Mitotic cell rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitotic_cell_rounding

    Thirdly, mitotic rounding has been shown to be important to generate sufficient space and appropriate geometry for proper mitotic spindle function, which is necessary for timely and accurate progression through mitosis. [2] [8] [9] Thus, mitotic cell rounding is involved in tissue organization and homeostasis.

    mitotic index (MI) The proportion of cells within a sample which are undergoing mitosis at the time of observation, typically expressed as a percentage or as a value between 0 and 1. The number of cells dividing by mitosis at any given time can vary widely depending on organism, tissue, developmental stage, and culture media, among other ...

  8. Kinetochore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetochore

    The spindle checkpoint, or SAC (for spindle assembly checkpoint), also known as the mitotic checkpoint, is a cellular mechanism responsible for detection of: correct assembly of the mitotic spindle; attachment of all chromosomes to the mitotic spindle in a bipolar manner; congression of all chromosomes at the metaphase plate.

  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.
