Actin filaments assemble into diverse protrusive and contractile structures to provide force
for a number of vital cellular processes. Stress fibers are contractile actomyosin bundles …

Cytokinesis, the final step in cell division, partitions the contents of a single cell into two. In
animal cells, cytokinesis occurs through cortical remodeling orchestrated by the anaphase …

A characteristic feature of terminal erythropoiesis in mammals is extrusion of the highly
condensed nucleus out of the cytoplasm. Other vertebrates, including fish, reptiles …

Anillin is a highly conserved multidomain protein that interacts with cytoskeletal components
as well as their regulators. Throughout phylogeny, Anillins contribute to cytokinesis, the cell …

In this paper, we propose a novel application of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to
the synthesis of cells imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Compared to natural images …

As they enter mitosis, animal cells undergo profound actin-dependent changes in shape to
become round. Here we identify the Cdk1 substrate, Ect2, as a central regulator of mitotic …

Cell division facilitated by a contractile ring is an almost universal feature across all
branches of cellular life, with the notable exception of higher plants. In all organisms that use …

Background Maize stover is an important source of crop residues and a promising
sustainable energy source in the United States. Stalk is the main component of stover …

The contractile ring is essential for cytokinesis in most fungal and animal cells. In fission
yeast, cytokinesis nodes are precursors of the contractile ring and mark the future cleavage …

A paradigm of cytokinesis in animal cells is that the actomyosin contractile ring provides the
primary force to divide the cell [1]. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe …
