The textbook view of cell division terminates with the final separation of the two daughter
cells in the process called abscission. However, in contrast to this classical view, a variety of …

Every cell becomes two through a carefully orchestrated process of division. Prior to division,
contractile machinery must first be assembled at the cell midzone to ensure that the cut …

A hallmark of meiosis is chromosomal pairing, which requires telomere tethering and
rotation on the nuclear envelope through microtubules, driving chromosome homology …

Cytokinetic abscission leads to the physical cut of the intercellular bridge (ICB) connecting
the daughter cells and concludes cell division. In different animal cells, it is well established …

A conserved process of early embryonic development in metazoans is the reductive cell
divisions following oocyte fertilization, termed cell cleavages. Cell cleavage cycles usually …

Cell division involves separating the genetic material and cytoplasm of a mother cell into two
daughter cells. The last step of cell division, abscission, consists of cutting the cytoplasmic …

Apoptosis is a key feature of preimplantation development, but whether it occurs in a cell-
autonomous or coordinated manner was unknown. Here, we report that plasma membrane …

The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complexes required for transport) membrane remodeling
complex, found across all life forms, exhibits a versatility that transcends evolutionary …

Abstract Purpose of Review How stem cells balance proliferation with differentiation, giving
rise to specific daughter cells during development to build an embryo or tissue, remains an …

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are thin intercellular connections that facilitate the transport of
diverse cargoes, ranging from ions to organelles. While TNT studies have predominantly …
