Transient defects of mitotic spindle geometry and chromosome segregation errors
Assembly of a bipolar mitotic spindle is essential to ensure accurate chromosome segregation and prevent aneuploidy, and severe mitotic spindle defects are typically associated with cell death. Recent studies have shown that mitotic spindles with initial

A multi-stage model of cell proliferation and death: tracking cell divisions with Erlang distributions [PDF]
Lymphocyte populations, stimulated in vitro or in vivo, grow as cells divide. Stochastic models are appropriate because some cells undergo multiple rounds of division, some die, and others of the same type in the same conditions do not divide at all. If individual cells behave independently, each can be imagined as sampling from a probability density ...

Leaf growth in dicots and monocots : so different yet so alike [PDF]
In plants, most organs grow post-embryonically through cell division and cell expansion. The coordination of these two growth processes is generally considered to be different between dicots and monocots.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

Cell division and the maintenance of epithelial order
Epithelia are polarized layers of adherent cells that are the building blocks for organ and appendage structures throughout animals. To preserve tissue architecture and barrier function during both homeostasis and rapid growth, individual epithelial ...

The dynamics of cell-division [PDF]
From the structural point of view mitosis is a process by which a living cell, through continuous and orderly transformations, divides so that (a) in equational division each daughter cell duplicates the mother cell exactly at the latter's comparable stage of existence; or (b) in ontogenetic division each daughter cell duplicates the mother cell at the

Cell Polarity from Cell Division [PDF]
Apical-basal polarity of epithelial cells is critical for their symmetric versus asymmetric division and commonly thought to be established in interphase. In a novel type of cell division termed "mirror-symmetric", apical cell constituents accumulate during M-phase at the cleavage furrow, resulting in epithelial daughter cells with opposite apical ...

Min-oscillations in Escherichia coli induced by interactions of membrane-bound proteins
During division it is of primary importance for a cell to correctly determine the site of cleavage. The bacterium Escherichia coli divides in the center, producing two daughter cells of equal size.

Deficiency of RgpG causes major defects in cell division and biofilm formation, and deficiency of LytR-CpsAPsr family proteins leads to accumulation of cell wall antigens in culture medium by Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
Streptococcus mutans is known to possess rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (RGP), a major cell wall antigen. S. mutans strains deficient in rgpG , encoding the first enzyme of the RGP biosynthesis

The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.
