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 ...

"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.

Gilroy, S. & Trewavas, A. Signal processing and transduction in plant cells: the end of the beginning? Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 2, 307–314 (2001) doi:10.1038/35067109. Surpin ...

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.) ...

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