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 ...

A different kind of human cell division could improve our understanding of cancer and help us grow specific tissues ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester have changed our understanding of how cells in living organisms divide, which ...

In Caenorhabditis elegans, size asymmetry and segregation of cell-fate determinants during the first division ... model organisms might also apply to mammalian stem cells. Asymmetric cell ...

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 ...

The Hawkins lab uses C. elegans to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying asymmetric cell division. Asymmetric cell division is the process by which a mother cell divides to produce two ...

Change in gene expression: Cells of budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae , show a typical asymmetric cell division. One becomes a mother cell and the other a young daughter, resulting in aging of ...

Our main focus areas are: Asymmetric cell division: we develop methods to analyze whether stem cells apportion their organelles qualitatively and selectively upon asymmetric divisions and how this ...
