The most fundamental feature of cellular form is size, which sets the scale of all cell
biological processes. Growth, form, and function are all necessarily linked in cell biology, but …

BACKGROUND How do the different cell types in our bodies maintain their distinctive and
characteristic sizes? Although much is known about the signaling networks that stimulate or …

Cell cycle checkpoints are surveillance mechanisms that monitor the order, integrity, and
fidelity of the major events of the cell cycle. These include growth to the appropriate cell size …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

An adult animal consists of cells of vastly different size and activity, but the regulation of cell
size remains poorly understood. Recent studies uncovering some of the signaling pathways …

Tomographic phase microscopy (TPM) is an emerging optical microscopic technique for
bioimaging. TPM uses digital holographic measurements of complex scattered fields to …

Control of eukaryotic cell proliferation involves an extended regulatory network, the
complexity of which has made it difficult to understand the basic principles of the cell cycle …

Cell size is an important adaptive trait that influences nearly all aspects of cellular
physiology. Despite extensive characterization of the cell-cycle regulatory network, the …

Multiple small molecule hormones contribute to growth promotion or restriction in plants.
Brassinosteroids (BRs), acting specifically in the epidermis, can both drive and restrict shoot …

Dual‐specificity tyrosine‐regulated kinases (DYRKs) comprise a family of protein kinases
within the CMGC group of the eukaryotic kinome. Members of the DYRK family are found in …
