After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...
When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example, DNA damage or chromosomal instability. That's why our cells come with an innate ...
