Cytokinesis ensures proper partitioning of genomic and cytoplasmic material between dividing cells. A key regulator of this process is the centralspindlin complex. Two recent papers report that ...

The rest of the cell continues to divide. Only when two, distinct cells form will cytokinesis, the division of the cell's cytoplasm, be complete. There are now four daughter cells. Each cell has ...

However, recent studies have indicated new roles for centrosomes in cytokinesis and cell-cycle progression. Is it possible that a common 'thread' connects all three sets of findings? Careful ...
