... types of gametophytic meristems in ferns, including apical cell (AC)-based meristems, multicellular apical meristems, and multicellular marginal meristems. We highlight both conserved and lineage-specific patterns of cell division, which are closely associated with these meristem identities and play...

... in the mosquito and proliferative mitotic cell division in both hosts. In the canonical eukaryotic model, cell division is either by open or closed mitosis and karyokinesis is followed by cytokinesis; whereas in Plasmodium closed mitosis is not directly accompanied by concomitant cell division. Key molecular...

... H3K27me3. However, we still do not fully understand what defines Polycomb targets, how their expression state is switched from epigenetically ON to OFF and how silencing is subsequently maintained through many cell divisions. An excellent system in which to dissect the sequence of events underlying...

... instances STIM2) that serves as the endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ sensor, and Orai (Orai1, Orai2 and Orai3) which function as pore-forming subunits of the store-operated channel. It has been known for some time that store-operated Ca 2+ entry is shut down during cell division. Recent work has revealed complex...

... in these processes. aging cell division germline stem cell lamina laminopathy nuclear envelope reproductive aging Reproductive capacity is one of the earliest systems to decline during the lifespan of many metazoans, producing both a decline in the quantity of progeny and an increase in the risk...

...Katja Graumann; John Runions; David E. Evans Controlled movement of the nucleus is important in a wide variety of plant cellular events. Positioning involving intact nuclei occurs in cell division, development, tip growing systems such as the root hair and in response to stimuli, including light...

The generation of cell diversity throughout development, the multiplication of cells during wound repair and the maintenance of stem cells in several tissues and organs all rely...
