After 40 years at Fred Hutch Cancer Center asking good questions of his own science and the science of his colleagues, cell biologist Jonathan Cooper, PhD has retired from the Basic Sciences Division.

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...

Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours - sometimes more than a day - in a ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...

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 ...

All processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the replacement of old cells with new ones depend on cell division.
