The symmetric division model predicts that the fate of each naïve T-cell is determined by the cytokines the dendritic cell produces: one cell, one fate. The asymmetric division model predicts that two ...

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

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 ...

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

they undergo an asymmetric cell division. With asymmetric division, each of the two resulting daughter cells has its own unique life course. In this case, one of the daughter cells has a finite ...

“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 ...

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 asymmetric division. Asymmetric divisions are an ...

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

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 ...
