How One Living Cell Becomes Two; Dramatic Process Begins Yielding Clues to Cancer, Retardation Series: LIFE ITSELF; UNRAVELING THE MYSTERIES OF BIOLOGY Series Number: 4/5

A skinned knee heals. A cancerous tumor grows. An embryo
develops into a baby.
Underlying all these commonplace events is one of the most
extraordinary natural phenomena known to science-the ability of one
living cell to transform itself into two living cells.
Cell division is the act that has kept life's fire burning for
billions of years, relaying its spark from old cell to new. It is
also the act that generations of biologists have devoted their lives
to studying, first simply by observing its sequence of events under
the microscopes, now by probing its steps atom by atom.
Because cell ...
