FORCE EXERTED BY THE CLEAVAGE FURROW OF SEA URCHIN EGGS [PDF]
Development, Growth and Differentiation, 1975 A drop of ferrofluid injected into the center of a dividing sea urchin egg is deformed into the shape of an hourglass when the cleavage furrow advances. The force applied to the drop is determined from the deformation of the drop and the interfacial tension between the ferrofluid and the protoplasm.

Agent-based modeling: case study in cleavage furrow models. [PDF]
Mol Biol Cell, 2016 The number of studies in cell biology in which quantitative models accompany experiments has been growing steadily. Roughly, mathematical and computational techniques of these models can be classified as “differential equation based” (DE) or “agent based” (AB).

Spatio-temporally separated cortical flows and spindle geometry establish physical asymmetry in fly neural stem cells [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Asymmetric cell division can generate daughter cells with cell size asymmetry, but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Here the authors show that spatiotemporally controlled Myosin flows together with spindle asymmetry and positioning control ...

Membrane dynamics of cleavage furrow closure in Xenopus laevis [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2008 AbstractEpithelial membrane polarity develops early in Xenopus development, with membrane inserted along the earliest cleavage furrows by means of localized exocytosis. The added surface constitutes a new basolateral domain important for early morphogenesis.

Orbit/CLASP is required for myosin accumulation at the cleavage furrow in Drosophila male meiosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Peripheral microtubules (MTs) near the cell cortex are essential for the positioning and continuous constriction of the contractile ring (CR) in cytokinesis.

Cleavage Furrow Establishment—A Preliminary to Cylindrical Shape Change [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1973 The predictable pattern of cell shape changes characterizing animal development must be a consequence of control mechanisms that are at least analogous to those operating in dividing cells. When cells change shape by an internal mechanism, it is implied that they also contain systems that will activate and deactivate the mechanism, localize it within ...

PH Domain-Arf G Protein Interactions Localize the Arf-GEF Steppke for Cleavage Furrow Regulation in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The recruitment of GDP/GTP exchange factors (GEFs) to specific subcellular sites dictates where they activate small G proteins for the regulation of various cellular processes.

A secreted protein promotes cleavage furrow maturation during cytokinesis. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2011 Developmental modifications in cell shape depend on dynamic interactions between the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. In contrast, existing models of cytokinesis describe substantial cell surface remodeling that involves many intracellular regulatory and structural proteins but includes no contribution from the extracellular matrix [1-3].

IFT proteins accumulate during cell division and localize to the cleavage furrow in Chlamydomonas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins are well established as conserved mediators of flagellum/cilium assembly and disassembly. However, data has begun to accumulate in support of IFT protein involvement in other processes elsewhere in the cell.
