Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Individual cells divide through a process called mitosis, during which the cell's copied DNA is separated between two resulting daughter cells. Despite recent advances in cell biology, the mechanism ...

Basic research is at the foundation of all scientific discoveries, underlying the innovative cures and treatments developed at Fred Hutch. Founded in 1981, the Basic Sciences Division has continually ...

The Basic Sciences Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center invite Ph.D. (or equivalent) students within two years of graduation or who have graduated within the past year to apply for a postdoc ...
