Nature’s cell of the month

a photo of cell of the month

An image showing two human cancer cells caught in the very final act of the cell division cycle, captured by Dr Paul Andrews in the school of life sciences has been named cell of the month in the internationally respected science journal Nature Cell Biology.

Dr Paul Andrews’ image shows the last stage of the division cycle known as cytokinesis. The cells have separated their DNA shown in white using the so-called "mitotic spindle" shown in red and are about to separate themselves from one another, forming two new individual cells which will themselves go on to divide again.

Paul is based in the division of gene regulation and expression.
