Dynamical Cell Systems Group Professor Chris Bakal’s group uses genomic approaches and computational modelling to understand how complex biochemical signalling networks are ‘rewired’ during the ...

Cell division, or cytokinesis, is the process by which a cell divides into two distinct daughter cells. Many of the proteins involved with cytokinesis are ancient, present long before the first ...

BACKGROUND: Cytokinesis is the last step in the eukaryotic cell cycle, which physically separates a mitotic cell into 2 daughter cells. A few days after birth in mouse cardiomyocytes, DNA synthesis ...

Cytokinesis physically separates daughter cells at the end of cell division. This step is particularly challenging for epithelial cells, which are connected to their neighbors and to the extracellular ...

Fission yeasts cells have about 190 cytokinesis nodes in a broad band at the equator which scales with cell size and most but not all nodes condense into the contractile ring.

The study of cytokinesis, the final stages of cell division, is one of the most active fields in cell biology. This field encompasses investigations on a multitude of diverse cellular processes ...

Cytokinesis is the last step of cell division that partitions the cellular organelles and cytoplasm of one cell into two. In animal cells, cytokinesis requires Rho-GTPase-dependent assembly of F-actin ...

Cytokinesis is the physical separation of two cells that occurs after the completion of mitosis. The mechanism underlying it is very complex. Until recently, the processes that lead to cleavage furrow ...

Paper artist Rogan Brown (previously) uses an accessible, universally recognized material to convey complex and minuscule biological processes. Two of his most recent sculptural works, Cytokinesis ...

Inhibition of PLK4 kinase activity prevents cytokinesis, leading to polyploidy and vulnerability to anaphase or mitotic catastrophe. The role of PLK4 in cytokinesis is consistent with its role as a ...
