  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 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.

  4. Cell division - Wikipedia

    Also, the pattern of cell division that transforms eukaryotic stem cells into gametes (sperm cells in males or egg cells in females), termed meiosis, is different from that of the division of somatic cells in the body. Cell division over 42. The cells were directly imaged in the cell culture vessel, using non-invasive quantitative phase ...

  5. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    In biology, cell theory is a scientific theory first formulated in the mid-nineteenth century, that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.

  6. Haematopoietic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoietic_system

    Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent haematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. [10] [11] [12] It may be autologous (the patient's own stem cells are used), allogeneic (the stem cells come from a donor) or syngeneic (from an identical ...

    While bubbles made mostly of water tend to burst quickly, oily bubbles are much more stable. The phospholipid, the primary material of cell membranes, is an example of a common oily compound prevalent in the prebiotic seas. [6] Both of these options require the presence of massive amounts of chemicals and organic material in order to form cells.

    An illustration of the stages of mitosis in a human cell from Gray's Anatomy. Cell cycle – The series of events that take place in a eukaryotic cell leading to its replication. Interphase – The stages of the cell cycle that prepare the cell for division. Mitosis – In eukaryotes, the process of division of the nucleus and genetic material.

  9. G0 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G0_phase

    G 0 is now known to take different forms and occur for multiple reasons. For example, most adult neuronal cells, among the most metabolically active cells in the body, are fully differentiated and reside in a terminal G 0 phase. Neurons reside in this state, not because of stochastic or limited nutrient supply, but as a part of their ...
