Schematic summarizing the formation of a contractile ring from actomyosin cables (red) by the SIN-dependent leading cable mechanism. The contribution of this mechanism to ring assembly becomes most ...

Top: Schematic of a fission yeast cell, illustrating the timing of contractile ring (red) assembly and constriction relative to spindle elongation (black) during mitosis. Nuclei are shown in gray. The ...

Researchers from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have uncovered a remarkable property of the contractile ring, a structure ...

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 ...

During cell division, a ring forms around the cell equator, which contracts to divide the cell into two daughter cells. Together with researchers from Heidelberg, Dresden, Tübingen and Harvard, ...
