Asymmetric cell division (ACD) produces daughter cells with separate distinct cell fates and
is critical for the development and regulation of multicellular organisms. Epigenetic …

Stem cells can undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD) giving rise to one new stem cell and
one differentiating daughter cell. In Drosophila germline stem cells (GSCs), the centromeric …

A fundamental question in developmental biology is how distinct cell fates are established
and maintained through epigenetic mechanisms in multicellular organisms. Here, we report …

Centromere function requires the presence of the histone H3 variant CENP-A in most
eukaryotes. The precise localization and protein amount of CENP-A are crucial for correct …

Asymmetric cell divisions are essential to generate different cellular lineages. In plants,
asymmetric cell divisions regulate the correct formation of the embryo, stomatal cells, apical …

Centromeres are key architectural components of chromosomes. Here, we examine their
construction, maintenance, and functionality. Focusing on the mammalian centromere …

Stem cells are a promising cell source for regenerative medicine due to their characteristics
of self‐renewal and differentiation. The intricate balance between these two cell fates is …

The Drosophila midgut is an excellent system for characterizing cell cycle regulation in the
context of tissue homeostasis. Two major progenitor cell types populate the midgut: mitotic …

A prevailing challenge in neuroscience is understanding how diverse neuronal cell types
select their synaptic partners to form circuits. In the neocortex, major classes of excitatory …

Inheritance of chromatin-bound proteins theoretically plays a role in the epigenetic
transmission of cellular phenotypes. Protein segregation during cell division is however …
