The asymmetric division model predicts that two fates arise from a single naïve T-cell. The effector cells defend against the microbe, while the memory cells replenish the loss of the rare naïve ...

Researchers revealed that mitosis doesn’t always feature cell rounding (when a parent cell becomes spherical), meaning that ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parents assumes a spherical shape, which ...

often don’t round up into sphere-like shapes. This lack of rounding breaks the symmetry of division to generate two daughter cells that differ from each other in both size and function, known as ...

New research reveals that cells don't always become round before dividing, challenging over a century of textbook biology.

often don't round up into sphere-like shapes. This lack of rounding breaks the symmetry of division to generate two daughter ...

Researchers from the University of Manchester have concluded that the process of cell division does not always proceed ...

“We found that the shifts in cell morphology that shape tissues could…trigger asymmetric division and direct core identity decisions underpinning tissue building.” If the asymmetry leads to ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have made a major discovery that could change what we’ve believed—and taught—about ...

This useful study explores the role of RAP2A in asymmetric cell division (ACD) regulation in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), drawing parallels to Drosophila ACD mechanisms and proposing that an ...
