Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...

This month's cover highlights the article The Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex ensures cytokinesis efficiency in Drosophila epithelia by Eurico Morais-de-Sá, Margarida Gonçalves and colleagues. The ...

The process involves both nuclear division and cytokinesis and can either produce two equal cells (symmetric cell division) or two cells with different cellular fates (asymmetric cell division).

Cytokinesis is the physical separation of two cells that occurs after the completion of mitosis. The mechanism underlying it is very complex. Until recently, the processes that lead to cleavage furrow ...
