WormBook, 2006 The C. elegans embryo is a powerful model system for studying the mechanics of metazoan cell division. Its primary advantage is that the architecture of the syncytial gonad makes it possible to use RNAi to generate oocytes whose cytoplasm is reproducibly (typically >95%) depleted of targeted essential gene products via a process that does not depend ...

Genetic requirements for cell division in a genomically minimal cell
Cell, 2020 Genomically minimal cells, such as JCVI-syn3.0, offer a platform to clarify genes underlying core physiological processes. While this minimal cell includes genes essential for population growth, the physiology of its single cells remained uncharacterized.

Cell Division: The Prehistorichore? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 The recent discovery of a novel kinetochore has important implications for our understanding of the evolution of chromosome segregation systems and also for the treatment of devastating parasitic diseases.

Cell division in Corynebacterineae [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Bacterial cells must coordinate a number of events during the cell cycle. Spatio-temporal regulation of bacterial cytokinesis is indispensable for the production of viable, genetically identical offspring. In many rod-shaped bacteria, precise midcell assembly of the division machinery relies on inhibitory systems such as Min and Noc.

Cell growth dilutes the cell cycle inhibitor Rb to trigger cell division
Science, 2020 A cell size sensor Efforts continue to uncover the long-sought mechanism by which cells coordinate growth and cell division to maintain a constant size. Zatulovskiy et al.

Bacterial cell division at a glance
Journal of Cell Science, 2020 Bacterial cell division is initiated by the midcell assembly of polymers of the tubulin-like GTPase FtsZ. The FtsZ ring (Z-ring) is a discontinuous structure made of dynamic patches of FtsZ that undergo treadmilling motion.

Differences in cell death and division rules can alter tissue rigidity and fluidization [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2022,18, 3713-3724, 2022 Tissue mechanical properties such as rigidity and fluidity, and changes in these properties driven by jamming-unjamming transitions (UJT), have come under recent highlight as mechanical markers of health and disease in various biological processes including cancer.

Emerging roles of the SUMO pathway in mitosis
Cell Division, 2008 SUMO proteins are small ubiquitin-like modifiers found in all eukaryotes that become covalently conjugated to other cellular proteins. The SUMO conjugation pathway is biochemically similar to ubiquitin conjugation, although the enzymes within the pathway

Cancer is a side effect of evolution of viruses and bacteria [PDF]
, 2011 Any human organism is home to viruses and bacteria. However, viruses (as well as other intracellular parasites) are interested in continuous division of the host cells.
