What is Actos (pioglitazone)? Pioglitazone is an oral drug that reduces the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is in a class of anti-diabetic drugs called thiazolidinediones that are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The other member in this class is rosiglitazone (Avandia).
The period between one cell division and the next is called the  interphase. It is the resting phase between successive mitotic or  meiotic divisions of a cell.
Cell division is a form of reproduction, but each resulting cell in normal cell division is identical to the original. Normal cell division is called mitosis, and this results in two identical cells. These cells continue life and perform the same functions as the original cell. They grow and eventually undergo division themselves. This is the type of division for most cells. The other type of cell division is called meiosis, and it is how the body produces eggs or sperm. The process is the same for both males and females.
