Figure 1: A group of MDR transporter proteins are asymmetrically localized to the mother cortex in a cell-cycle-regulated manner. Figure 2: The timing of TPO1 expression during the cell cycle is ...

Stem cells often divide asymmetrically to produce one stem cell and one differentiating cell, thus maintaining the stem cell pool. Although neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse ...

A team of astronomers based in Europe has obtained a three-dimensional view of the innermost material released by a supernova – something never before seen. The researchers discovered a turbulent ...
