Cleavage furrow establishment by the moving mitotic apparatus [PDF]
Development, Growth & Differentiation, 1997 The midpoint of the mitotic apparatus is fixed in the future division plane long before the division mechanism develops, and this static relationship has been considered essential in speculations concerning division mechanism establishment. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether prevention of the static relationship affects ...

Effects of wounds in the cell membrane on cell division
Scientific Reports, 2023 Cells are consistently subjected to wounding by physical or chemical damages from the external environment. We previously showed that a local wound of the cell membrane modulates the polarity of cell migration and the wounded cells escape from the wound ...

Minor Kinases with Major Roles in Cytokinesis Regulation
Cells, 2022 Cytokinesis, the conclusive act of cell division, allows cytoplasmic organelles and chromosomes to be faithfully partitioned between two daughter cells.

Drosophila F-BAR protein Syndapin contributes to coupling the plasma membrane and contractile ring in cytokinesis [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Cytokinesis is a highly ordered cellular process driven by interactions between central spindle microtubules and the actomyosin contractile ring linked to the dynamic remodelling of the plasma membrane.

Endomitotic Megakaryocytes that Form a Bipolar Spindle Exhibit Cleavage Furrow Ingression Followed by Furrow Regression [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2007 Megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation is marked by the development of progressive polyploidy, due to repeated incomplete cell cycles in which mitosis is aborted during anaphase, a process termed endomitosis. We have postulated that anaphase in endomitotic MKs diverges from diploid mitosis at a point distal to the assembly of the midzone, possibly ...

Live cell interferometry quantifies dynamics of biomass partitioning during cytokinesis.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The equal partitioning of cell mass between daughters is the usual and expected outcome of cytokinesis for self-renewing cells. However, most studies of partitioning during cell division have focused on daughter cell shape symmetry or segregation of ...

Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]
, 2006 Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...

Precocious (pre-anaphase) cleavage furrows in Mesostoma spermatocytes
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2010 It generally is assumed that cleavage furrows start ingression at anaphase, but this is not always true. Cleavage furrows are initiated during prometaphase in spermatocytes of the flatworm Mesostoma, becoming detectable soon after the spindles achieve bipolarity. The furrows deepen during prometaphase, but ingression soon arrests.

Plasma Membrane Association but Not Midzone Recruitment of RhoGEF ECT2 Is Essential for Cytokinesis [PDF]
, 2016 Cytokinesis, the final step of cell division, begins with the formation of a cleavage furrow. How the mitotic spindle specifies the furrow at the equator in animal cells remains unknown. Current models propose that the concentration of the RhoGEF ECT2 at

Doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondria as a model system for studying germ line formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Doubly Uniparental Inheritance (DUI) of mitochondria occurs when both mothers and fathers are capable of transmitting mitochondria to their offspring, in contrast to the typical Strictly Maternal Inheritance (SMI).
