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 ...

Cytokinesis relies on a contractile ring of cytoskeletal proteins. See how yeast have revealed the genetic regulation of this ring, and its biochemical connection to the cell cycle. Fission yeast ...

1 Study results reported by Liu et al. 2 showed that the failure of cardiomyocytes to complete the last stage of cytokinesis is a feature of tetralogy of Fallot and that this failure is linked to ...

Along with copying and splitting DNA during division, cells must have a way to break safely into two viable daughter cells, a process called cytokinesis. But the molecular basis of how plant cells ...

Fission yeast cells have a well-defined shape and growth pattern, and divide by actomyosin-ring-dependent cytokinesis, making it an excellent model system for our investigations. 1. Campbell BF§, ...

This includes an in depth molecular analysis of anillin, a highly conserved protein that is required for cytokinesis and crosslinks key components of the cell. I use cultured human cells including ...
