Cell research: One becomes two in 20 minutes
An asymmetrical ring of thread-like proteins splits a cell into two daughter cells. Symmetry is a fundamental characteristic of most multi-cell animals. However, the cell division of embryonic cells is asymmetric. A team led by Prof. Dr. Esther Zanin at the Department of Biology at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has developed a working model that explains […]
