A mechanistic first--passage time framework for bacterial cell-division timing [PDF]
Scientific Reports 6: 30229 (2016), 2015 How exponentially growing cells maintain size homeostasis is an important fundamental problem. Recent single-cell studies in prokaryotes have uncovered the adder principle, where cells on average, add a fixed size (volume) from birth to division. Interestingly, this added volume differs considerably among genetically-identical newborn cells with ...

Branching Feller diffusion for cell division with parasite infection [PDF]
ALEA : Latin American Journal of Probability and Mathematical
Statistics 8 (2011) 95-127, 2010 We describe the evolution of the quantity of parasites in a population of cells which divide in continuous-time. The quantity of parasites in a cell follows a Feller diffusion, which is splitted randomly between the two daughter cells when a division occurs.

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.

ESCRT-III mediated cell division in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius - a reconstitution perspective [PDF]
, 2014 In the framework of synthetic biology, it has become an intriguing question what would be the minimal representation of cell division machinery. Thus, it seems appropriate to compare how cell division is realized in different microorganisms. Inparticular,

The many faces of ubiquitinated histone H2A: insights from the DUBs
Cell Division, 2008 Monoubiquitination of H2A is a major histone modification in mammalian cells. Understanding how monoubiquitinated H2A (uH2A) regulates DNA-based processes in the context of chromatin is a challenging question.

Afadin orients cell division to position the tubule lumen in developing renal tubules [PDF]
, 2017 In many types of tubules, continuity of the lumen is paramount to tubular function, yet how tubules generate lumen continuity in vivo is not known. We recently found the F-actin binding protein Afadin is required for lumen continuity in developing renal ...

Cell Division, 2018 Just like all matter, proteins can also switch between gas, liquid and solid phases. Protein phase transition has claimed the spotlight in recent years as a novel way of how cells compartmentalize and regulate biochemical reactions.

"ATR activation in response to ionizing radiation: still ATM territory"
Cell Division, 2006 Unrepaired DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are a major cause for genomic instability. Therefore, upon detection of a DSB a rapid response must be assembled to coordinate the proper repair/signaling of the lesion or the elimination of cells with ...

Chromosome segregation impacts on cell growth and division site selection in Corynebacterium glutamicum. [PDF]
, 2013 Spatial and temporal regulation of bacterial cell division is imperative for the production of viable offspring. In many rod-shaped bacteria, regulatory systems such as the Min system and nucleoid occlusion ensure the high fidelity of midcell divisome ...

MicroRNAs’ control of cancer cell dormancy
Cell Division, 2019 ‘Dormancy’, in the context of carcinogenesis, is a biological phenomenon of decreased cancer cell proliferation and metabolism. In view of their ability to remain quiescent, cancer cells are able to avoid cell death induced by chemotherapeutic agents ...
