#Cell Cycle

[nova3on]

I emerged from a trance after 4 days of making this. I had to do a comic on the cell cycle for my AP-Biology class and realized I could connect it to rain world and well... the rest is history. thank you so so much to my friends @riant-draws and @anicrue for your advice and tips! Helped me out so much. Super proud of it so I thought I'd share here too lol

(sketches as well because I know I personally enjoy comparing them lol)

Mechanics of Dividing

Quantitative analysis of hundreds of epithelial cell divisions reveals the stresses and forces experienced at a particular phase of the cell cycle influence the orientation of cell division in the developing fruit fly embryo

It’s almost like planets

[starlighttaylorsversion]

My legs felt like jelly after i rode bicycle for like 20-25 mins, and then my periods arrived. WHY DO PERIODS EVEN EXIST, i know its important , but the first day of mensuration is fricking fricking painful. ugh anyways, pls tell me i should be motivated enough, for my 5'1 52 kg body to continue cycling🙂

Mitosis and the Cell Cycle: Crash Course Biology #29

No matter how many times I learn it. I will only ever remember the cell cycle as Idiotic Penguins Make Antarctica Too Cold

MITOSIS- its Occurrence, Stages and Significance.

Unlocking knowledge one post at a time! Check out our latest notes on www.microscopiaiwm.com – a treasure trove of insights, ideas, and inspiration. Dive in, explore, and let the journey of discovery begin! 📚

                                        INTRODUCTION: Mitosis is a type of cell division that takes place in living organisms and it is commonly defined as the process of duplication of chromosomes in eukaryotic cells and distributed during cell division.  The process where a single cell divides resulting in two identical cells, each resulted cell contains the same number of chromosomes and…

A Midcellmmer Night’s Dream

Our cell membranes press against each other, and I know I’m in love. Accurate to their name, G2trude is in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Through their semipermeable cell membrane, I can see enzymes checking that their genetic information is all correct. If I had cheeks and blood to blush with right now, I would. Unlike G2trude, I am only in the G1 phase. I’m still growing, developing organelles, and other things that probably seem super juvenile to G2trude. Hey, someday they’ll be back to where I am though. Kinda. Soon enough, they’ll go into mitosis and after that they’ll be 2 daughter cells in G1. Will they both be G2trude then? Or just one? Or are they completely their own cells? Who really knows, philosopher cells don’t come around these parts. Or any parts, they don’t exist.

It would be easier if we were gametes. We wouldn’t go thru mitosis, and we could be together and be together forever. However, we are skin cells, stuck in the epidermis, stuck in the cell cycle.

We, us, G2trude and Trevor

stuck in cell cycle forever

G1, S, G2, mitosis

believing you love me is psychosis

Something happens! I watch centrioles head to opposite sides of the cell. Oh man, mitosis already? Maybe our phase gap isn’t that bad after all! I watch in silence, for I am a cell and have nothing to make noise with, as G2trude starts prophase. From the centrioles spring forty spindle fibers. The nuclear envelope breaks down, and the chromosomes line up in the middle. I watch in fear and fascination. I can’t believe I’m witnessing this coming of phase. The spindle fibers grab onto the centromeres and pull them apart. I CAN’T WATCH!!! But I do anyway. Oh golly gee, G2trude isn’t their usual shape anymore! They look like two suns, still attached at the side. If only they e could merge together like that! Only gametes merge though. As said before, we are skin cells stuck in the epidermis.

We, us, G2trude and Trevor

stuck in th’epiderm forever

If we were gametes we’d be one

Mr. and Mrs. Trevor, why, that’s fun!

The nuclear envelopes are forming again, around the chromatids. Then, I watch as G2trude is no more. If I had tears to cry with, I would cry. No. SOB. I now know that neither of them is really my G2trude. They’re their own cells. I’ll name them Epinand Dermis.

G2trude isn’t the only one who’s changed however. I’m now in S phase. Synthesizing phase. My DNA is getting replicated into perfect copies. Soon, I’ll be in G2 phase just like G2trude was. Then in M phase: Then G1 again. That’s cell cycle for you. Never ending, never escapable. Predetermined.

This is the story of G2trude and Trevor,

Now it’s time to say cellut forever

An IGFBP receptor sows death form above: TMEM219, a face-off(ender) of gut staminality

An international study led by Dr. Paolo Fiorina from Boston Children’s Hospital and in collaboration with researchers from University of Milan highlights the beneficial effect of inhibiting the death receptor TMEM219 to restore mucosal healing in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Fiorina and colleagues demonstrated that the pharmacological blockade of TMEM219 signal through a recombinant…

The Insidious Link: Viruses and Cancer

By WPS News Health Corespondent et al Baybay City, Philippines | January 10, 2025 Cancer, a disease that sends shivers down spines, disrupts lives, and fuels constant research. While mutations in our own genes play a significant role, a lesser-known culprit often lurks in the shadows: viruses. This essay delves into the fascinating, complex connection between viruses and cancer, exploring how…

Navigating the Cell Cycle: Insights into Regulation and Checkpoints

The cell cycle is a tightly regulated process that governs cell growth, division, and proliferation. From unicellular organisms to complex multicellular organisms like humans, precise control of the cell cycle is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing aberrant cell proliferation. In this blog post, we delve into the intricacies of cell cycle regulation and checkpoints,…

Platelet Stream

Our platelets – the blood component necessary for clotting to heal injury – are not cells but nucleus-free 'fragments' produced by very large cells of the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. This study reveals how the cell cycle and the structures involved in it, such as centrosomes, are controlled in megakaryocytes to enable their specialised function – insights for producing platelets for transfusion

Art block is finally over. Have these companion pieces that spawned when I thought about Drifter and Hunter parallels (I might have to post about that more later I’m cooking). I’m actually pretty happy with these and tried somthing new for beheaded’s design!

Also here’s a sketch because I couldn’t help but think about how Beheaded would have to deal with both of his sick cats being on such borrowed time and wanted to make a bit of a joke about it I guess?

I dunno I’m just glad to be able to create again.

Also here is beheaded’s without the text :)
