Cancer progression and metastasis are processes that involve significant cellular changes.
Many of these changes include alterations in the activity of the Rho GTPase family of …

Drosophila dividing spermatocytes offer a highly suitable cell system in which to investigate
the coordinated reorganization of microtubule and actin cytoskeleton systems during cell …

Particulate matter (PM), a major component of outdoor air pollution, damages DNA and
increases the risk of cancer. Although the harmful effects of PM at the genomic level are …

Precise spatiotemporal control of microtubule nucleation and organization is critical for
faithful segregation of cytoplasmic and genetic material during cell division and signaling via …

Cytoplasmic divisions are thought to rely on nuclear divisions and mitotic signals. We
demonstrate in Drosophila embryos that cytoplasm can divide repeatedly without nuclei and …

Cell polarity is the asymmetric distribution of cellular components along a defined axis.
Polarity relies on complex signalling networks between conserved patterning proteins …

Accurate placement of the cleavage furrow is crucial for successful cell division. Recent
advancements have revealed that diverse mechanisms have evolved across different …

Svere combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) constitute a heterogeneous group of life-
threatening genetic disorders that typically present in the first year of life. They are defined …

The contractile ring, which plays critical roles in cytokinesis in fungal and animal cells, has
fascinated biologists for decades. However, the basic question of how the non-muscle …

Nematocysts are generated by secretion of proteins into a post-Golgi compartment. They
consist of a capsule that elongates into a long tube, which is coiled inside the capsule matrix …
