Mitosis in real time

[thejameskan]

love the video man

[TheGhostHunter500]

This is so awesome!!!!!! im really interested in biology

[milleniumfreako]

is that a drosophila embryo?

[SynneDennis]

What cells were they?

[ThatsSoFunnyHAHAHA]

Just learned about this in science class today.

[6Dragon6Software]

did you change/move the color filter at the middle of the video?

[jof410]

wow!



[MrSakajoao]

rastafari?

[ratch26]

What kind of microscope did you use? A Digital or Fluorescent Microscope or whatever?

[purpleyes696]

lindo!

[Kevincentius]

this is real time? no fast forwarding? xD

[PANDAloko92]

Muy buen video

[vanessalouro]

Mitosis takes about 90 or 120 minutes

[Yoyomacay96]

@vanessalouro Which means that this is a timelapse?

[LambChowder1]

ewwwww

[tyujyujfgjtyufrt5uyt]

Like someone else said, it's a syncytium. Multiple nuclei in one cell - or all those little dark spots in the beginning and end. There are checkpoints - if a cell hasn't done X, it can't divide. Like those pretty webs you see - they're pulling half the DNA to one cell and half the DNA to the other. If a cell can't make those webs, Checkpoint Charlie says "You can't divide." But this is all one big cell, so all the checkpoints work at the same time.

[viboud]

@tyujyujfgjtyufrt5uyt Mostly true, but this is not one cell, and nuclei don't obey the same checkpoints at the same time. This is a Drosophila syncytial embryo in which 13 rapid divisions take place without fully forming daughter cells (in part to allow these divisions to occur rapidly). For checkpoints, many individual nuclei do not satisfy checkpoints, die, and sink in the embryo. For example, if you irradiate your embryo too much, only a few nuclei will die from a failed checkpoint.

[Itachitobisaga]

@tyujyujfgjtyufrt5uyt I like your username ;)

[zenb0mb]

It's not real time. Mitosis takes around one hour.

[daveheadugly]

What? I don't think so. How did u get so many cells to divide at the exact same time?

[xmuzzyx20]

how is this something u can even dislike I DONT GET IT !!! this is just facts

[xiKoNz]

geez, then why the fuck aint I 10 feet tall ... minimum? :s lol

[Soorieh]

Nerdgasm. Absolutely love it! 

[markusb2]

is it real time?

[doodl3bugg13]

Does it really happen this quickly? Damn!

[BOBLOL00]

what the fuck am i watching? i really like the fact that some of you people have something to say too

[riggsbe]

This is a early Drosophila embryo going through a round of mitosis. The embryo is in a syncytium (similar to a cell with multiple nuclei) in its early stages, these nuclei will eventually celluarize to form individual cells that will differentiate. The rounds of mitosis in this stage occurs every ~15 minutes.

[Kaiuchka]

Really odd to me how all of them split at the exact same moment.. I expected some long spacing. Can somebody explain please?

[sumfingada316]

nerd-gasm!

[coronelmarco]

Does it really take ~19 seconds for mitosis to occur in this cell type, if so please do illuminate me on the cell type and treatment. Speaking of illumination, time to align the illumination in your microscope or camera bro :-)

[solacehaven]

its amazing, so incredibly beautiful

[mphello]

What is stunning is the evolution and incredible work of thousands of scientists and engineers (in fields even unknown to each other) to bring us the technology to see and understand all this.

[Fishpezloco3]

its great! what are those cells from anyways?

[ThoseLatinoKids]

how awesome was that? :D

[fleks16]

Isn't it Drophila melanogaster embryo during early stages of development?

[GAKtion64]

wow that was fast.

[anonimoculto]

Todas sincronizadas? Por quê? All syncronized? Why? Alle synchronisierten? Warum?

[blueberryjojo]

JESUS FUCK I HATE BIO ITS SO DISGUSTING

[p737lost]

It looks nasty.

[Hitman271]

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

[kristenssn]

holy freakin s that is creepy

[Zoras88]

how did i get here from Huggbees?

[dragonheart333]

that was awesome

[JojoRonaldo7]

oh my.. thats amazing !

[MultiAxian]

i'm curious what specimen this is...

[unclefestus]

Awesome! Though I'm wondering.... how did they get those cells to coordinate to where they all divide at the same time?

[Emothicaol]

@unclefestus

Bacteria multiplies every 20 mins. They all came from a single cell so y'know.

[Bigpanda911]

@Emothicaol bacteria dont have nuclei.. read up some!

[365fg]

They don't need one to divide.

[MelyzzaDeBell96]

hay estoy en plena clase de gbiologiaa ok ?? hehe

[gamefreek41795]

THAT IS SO AWESOME

[stger77]

thats not real time, imposible. e coli needs about 30 min. eucaryotic cells like these need much longer than that.

[ihahahayou]

it's a healthy looking one!

[WaywardPatriot]

It's almost like there is a chemical network between all the cells, timed to a boundary layer propagation limit, and when that limit is reached on the perimeter, a single cell switches and triggers a mass flux of chemical reactions throughout the solution, propagating the mitosis throughout each cell. What a truly sublime illustration of the simplistic, and yet massively complex, beauty of nature.

[UnholeyToast]

@simyan2008 No i dont think so im pretty sure it depends on what kind of cell is dividing but usually it takes like 20 mins - 2days

[aaronbeg]

irondudeguything calm your nuts

[aaronbeg]

This video is fucking epic

[irondudeguything]

@aaronbeg you said you have a lot of thumbs up you lier

[sunshine54418]

FANTASTIC

[MagnumIsNl]

This is so awesome XD

[simyan2008]

is that really how fast it happens?

[patilsaurabhr]

really nice!

[HariVIyer]

heh, awesome.

Science rules.

[orangefab1990]

Wow, it's kinda freaky how the nucleus just disappears randomly...

[SkipDexterable]

this is insane!!!

[nubializacion]

so cool!!!!

[donshan123]

CRAPY THAT WAS FUCKIN SWEET!!!!!!

[NaTiIiIiI92]

biology rocks!! :)

[raininthespringtime]

whooooooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[knoxynyr87]

yo that was so sweet

[inblank]

is this going on in my body right now?

[DJvideoes]

@inblank every second of every day!

[bertohtown41]

that was tha shit...life is amazing

[streetsesh80]

18 seconds?

[JediSpice]

That was really cool, but what was the time frame from interphase to telophase?

[Mcplumpyboy]

That was almost disgusting >.> i was like WHAAAT!

[kirixnaru]

wow

[Junieve]

cool.

[SandersonCallum]

nerd-erotic

[SnoetJ23]

No, it's not true that the mitoses happens in 19 seconds.. And they are not all in the same phase.

[TheGunmanship]

@SnoetJ23 can you tell me how much time does it take :)

[SnoetJ23]

@TheGunmanship 12 till 24 hours.

[DJvideoes]

how do they all split at the same time?

[TPishek]

@DJvideoes They've most likely been treated with a mitogen to induce this splitting.

[DJvideoes]

@TPishek thank you =]

[PhenixReviewz]

@DJvideoes super fast forward made it look like it.

[bubblegumprincess22]

Beautiful..amazing!!

[iwrangleyou]

I believe this is a xenopus oocyte (a frog egg) that skips the G1 and G2 phase of mitosis (that is why it divides so rapidly). You can get such a view with fluorescence microscopy which uses fluorophores tagged to specific molecules to track them during cellular events, and in this case it looks like the microtubules that pull the chromosomes into each of the new cells are tagged with fluorophores. This video is real.

[ronitovi]

come on guys, that's fake forsure! you can NOT have such a view with a optic microscope. just look at the background colours, its obviously fake.

[iwrangleyou]

@ronitovi You're right, not an optic microscope. It uses a fluorescence microscope.

[NECC94]

@ronitovi do your homework before using "for sure" and "can not". This is not with a optic microscope.

[streck15]

@pakistanrock247 More like BRILLIANT

[catherinemisle]

is just the secret of life, is like magic

[The4fourEver]

How come they do it at the same time? Doesn't make sense...

[chikaxox]

wow thats honestly the coolest thing ever

[mnagmobile1]

FAKE. No hard proof! Show me the proof and evidence for this instead of some CGI film

[mikaila31]

@mnagmobile1 ummm take a cell biology class....? And this is not a CGI film its just a recording from a microscope. But what am I saying! Of course its fake! No reasonable, rational, normal person would believe that this was real!

[tansypool]

Mitosis is so very pretty.

[krunkdis]

AVATAR!!!

[krunkdis]

DUDE. SHUT YOUR FUCKING TRAP. 

[liliwuzherex]

WOAH THAT'S SO FLIPPING EPIC.

I mean, nice work. I really understood how the process went.

[willdawg840]

what were these organisms?

[CorneliusFractogram]

fake

[pedstar1]

THE HYPNO TOAD.

[Zeanu]

That's very cool...

[Himotary]

@baconsrebellion Thank you! i was wondering why al the cells started at the same time :)

[kurrizzle]

HOLY SHIT!

I didn't know mitosis was that fast!!!

[anonwillprevail247]

life is amazing! to bad the government plans to destroy it all. fucking nazis

[princeoftennis27]

omg...SO COOL!

[locoyo386]

I can see this video is 19 seconds long, but does it really take that long for a single cell to split into 2?

If so, does it matter which type of cell it is?

[Hamiltoni23]

@locoyo386

Actually it takes lot longer than 19 seconds. This video shows embryonal mitosis in D. melanogaster, which takes about 30 minutes to complete (which is still quite fast as normally mitosis would take c. 12 hours). So this video plays on fastforward.

[locoyo386]

@Hamiltoni23 Is there set factors for melanogaster to happen only in 30 minutes? or is it something that has too many factors to be able ro predict the exact time it takes?

[boxa888]

wow why would they want to divide at the same time, things like this go completly against entropy and destructive and disordered systems proposed, still why did millions of years ago the different cells wanted to come together into a multicell organisms, when at the time they would have been swimming around getting the food and being happy back in the primordial soups back then, i dont get that part, strange and amazing!

[obaeyens]

@boxa888

"still why did millions of years ago the different cells wanted to come together into a multicell organisms, "

In group your survival increases.

[mikaila31]

@boxa888 There are MANY ways to effect entropy. As far as I know microorganisms began grouping for things like protection, reproduction, and greater efficiency. Likely disorganized colonies to start with, but became more organized. (ex. Volvox) It makes since surviving entirely on your own is hard. Grouping with others gives you advantages. Then forming relationships and taking on specialized roles gives you even more advantages.

[izlude2]

ahhh mitosis... the true safe alternative to sex. or perhaps budding would be more suitable for those who want more offspring?

[RuledByWillAlone]

Beautiful..

[ibanezfreak04]

wow, that looks really nice! when you say camera inside you mean it's built in right? If it is what kind of microscope is it? yep, and great vid.

[nathan262]

these are frog eggs, correct

[nathan262]

saw this bideo in my science class

[vailatiuT1]

this is awesome stuff. great fr visuallizing fr my sci work. that im working on at th moment

[carrera134]

biology is beautiful! isn't it? :)

[hbombeto]

wow..!amazing..!

[antonscottgoustin]

Is this Drosophila?

[frostedcornflakes]

that is so effin cool! :))

[Avitalstern]

Yickes

[relajante]

The most amazing thing about this is the fact that happens all the time...

[jen0619]

holy shit... all synchronized perfectly.

[hober184]

wuaooo !!! this video very good...

[russtef14]

cool!!

[opaz79]

approximately 10% of those cells are homosexual and proud of it

[sl2mmer]

wait, this is the real thing?

[coreyah23]

that was cool

[saavedra29]

i have an optical microscope and a microscope camera. Can you tell me how can i record something like this? At least a tutorial. I would like to see a mitosis like this- real time but i don't know where can i fild such cells ect

[flitzpiepensation]

@saavedra29 It depends on what kind of optical microscope you have. If you have a inverted microscope, it's actually possible to observe mitosis because you can keep the cells alive. Otherwise if you have a "normal" microscope (that means you look from the top ON your cells) it isn't possible because you have to fix your cells and that means they're dead. Furthermore you need to use chemical substance to make the cells visible.

Search "optical microscope" on wikipedia

Hope I could help

[TheLovesoul1]

you body seems to recycle itself in reproduction like water how it comes from the ocean evaporates goes and forms a cloud and then goes back to its source the ocean.

[dingodiladi]

is this a joke can they really replicate that fast?

[madmercenary]

beautiful

[Jaraguala]

I love Physics.

[Kaiuchka]

@Jaraguala It's Biology.

[Jaraguala]

@Kaiuchka They hating...

[kooziejr]

@Jaraguala its genetics/biology asshole

[firedrakeer]

at 0:05 it looks like H2O molecules.

[Erovian]

Isn't this happening a bit too fast for regular mitosis?

[mewmaster151]

@Erovian different cells multiply at different rates and under different conditions so there isnt really a standard rate for mitosis

[johnclockwork]

only if the money in my bank account can do the same thing =(

[DoS37]

@johnclockwork

They do. But they get 9 times more everytime, and you don't get anything for it. Look up Fractional Reserve Banking.

[smokeassault117]

@johnclockwork Oh but it will... Do the opposite once the kid is born hahaha

[didi0014]

Not real time

[loopofpoop]

this looks waay sped up

[welovesexxx]

is it a fluorescent staining? how did you get it? it's amazing, is it a embryonic cell culture?

[xorsher]

I'd like to have this  as a lamp in my bedroom :)

[allenda77]

@xorsher By the morning it would fill your bedroom heheh

[Mozilla2012]

I really wish that made an awesome noise.

[verdantcrab]

What sort of tissue is this?

[rawimpact]

you fail at all aspects, this is drosphilia fruit fly during early embryo development.

[gramps24]

@verdantcrab

embryonic

[PresidentLucario]

spindle fibers

[FBIRyan]

Amazing.

You can see the miotic spindle so clearly! =D

[UneCecile]

Hell, that looks scary

[kurt05051987]

Does it really work this fast? And all the spindle formation etc. happens so rapidly? Also I want to know which microscope was used for this footage (Magnification and Model of the microscope).

[yellowdemini]

No, it was probably time elapsed. Mitosis does not occur that fast.
