A mitotic spindle contains two structures implicated in cytokinesis furrow positioning: asters, which are radial arrays of centrosome-nucleated microtubules, and the midzone, which forms between the ...

Treatment options for congenital heart disease are limited by the relative inability of mature cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) to generate new cardiomyocytes through proliferation after birth.

How does the cell organize multi-step cytokinetic processes to successfully separate cells after division? The final step in cell division is cytokinesis, where the cytoplasm divides into two after ...
