Schematic summarizing the formation of a contractile ring from actomyosin cables (red) by the SIN-dependent leading cable mechanism. The contribution of this mechanism to ring assembly becomes most ...

Researchers have uncovered a remarkable property of the contractile ring, a structure required for cell division. Understanding how the contractile ring works to divide the cell may facilitate ...

In the accompanying movie, a time series of micrographs show the formation and constriction of contractile rings in four rod-shaped yeast cells. One of the contractile ring proteins is shown in white.

Researchers have identified a signaling pathway that restricts cleavage furrow formation to the mid-plane of the cell. Researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have identified ...

During cell division, a ring forms around the cell equator, which contracts to divide the cell into two daughter cells. Together with researchers from Heidelberg, Dresden, Tübingen and Harvard, ...

(Nanowerk News) During cell division, a ring forms around the cell equator, which contracts to divide the cell into two daughter cells. Together with researchers from Heidelberg, Dresden, Tübingen and ...

This sixty-nine-year-old man had suffered from intermittent dysphagia for four years. After a bread-barium swallow (not shown here), he complained of dysphagia, and the bread could not be seen ...
