Cancer is a group of diseases in which cells divide continuously and excessively. Cell
division is tightly regulated by multiple evolutionarily conserved cell cycle control …

Among the physicochemical cues in the cellular microenvironment that orchestrate cell
processes, the different levels of curvature in the extracellular matrix and intrinsic to the …

Tissue morphogenesis results from a tight interplay between gene expression, biochemical
signaling and mechanics. Although sequencing methods allow the generation of cell …

To achieve a stable size distribution over multiple generations, proliferating cells require a
means of counteracting stochastic noise in the rate of growth, the time spent in various …

The life and death of an organism rely on correct cell division, which occurs through the
process of mitosis. Although the biochemical signalling and morphogenetic processes …

The cortex controls cell shape. In mouse oocytes, the cortex thickens in an Arp2/3-complex-
dependent manner, ensuring chromosome positioning and segregation. Surprisingly, we …

Cell-cycle progression and division are fundamental biological processes in animal cells,
and their biochemical regulation has been extensively studied. An emerging body of work …

During cell division, kinetochore microtubules (KMTs) provide a physical linkage between
the chromosomes and the rest of the spindle. KMTs in mammalian cells are organized into …

Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for normal cell cycle progression
and accurate cell division. However, how cell adhesion to the wide range of ECM proteins …

Cell mass and chemical composition are important aggregate cellular properties that are
especially relevant to physiological processes, such as growth control and tissue …
