Yeast cell division found to begin inside the nucleus
DNA
The Francis Crick Institute Jun 26 2025 Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker in the same compartment as the cell's DNA helps keep the genome stable. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) is the master regulator of the cell cycle-the process by which a cell copies its contents and then divides to form two daughter cells. CDK is only active when
