(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...

The quest to decipher the complex molecular events underpinning cell polarity and organelle segregation during eukaryotic cell division presents a formidable challenge. A predominant focus on ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species ...

During division, the membrane also formed visible bridges between the two daughter cells that stretched and eventually broke. The creation and eventual breakage of these bridges lasted an average of ...

Somin Lee receives funding from the Air Force of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and National Science Foundation (NSF). Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of life. From bacteria to blue whales, every living being on Earth relies on cell division for growth, reproduction, and species survival. Yet, ...

Cell division ensures growth or renewal and is thus vital for all organisms. However, the process differs somewhat in animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and algae. Until now, little was known about how ...
