Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

"Cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant and animal cells is different," said Joshi. "Plant cells form a cell plate to divide the two cells due to the rigid cell wall.

Cytokinesis ensures proper partitioning of genomic and cytoplasmic material between dividing cells. A key regulator of this process is the centralspindlin complex. Two recent papers report that ...

Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA. (Cytokinesis describes the division of the rest of the cell.) ...

Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a separate process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells. Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in ...
