Cell division by cytokinesis completes the cell cycle for every cell. Cytokinesis in fungal, amoeboid and animal cells takes place in four steps (Fig. 1). The process begins when the cell marks the ...
EurekAlert!: From single cells to complex creatures: New study points to origins of animal multicellularity
Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly genetically identical cells. Depending on the organism, these cells arrange ...
From single cells to complex creatures: New study points to origins of animal multicellularity
Cytokinesis — the final step of mitosis in which the two daughter cells separate — requires accumulation of specific proteins and lipids at the connecting bridge to ensure cleavage by abscission.
The striking conservation between genes involved in cytokinesis and axonal elongation, as well as the morphological similarity between growth cones and migrating cells, raises the question of how ...
All cells can be sorted into one of two groups: eukaryotes and prokaryotes. A eukaryote has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while a prokaryote does not. Plants and animals are made of numerous eukaryotic cells, while many microbes, such as bacteria, consist of single cells.

The Patriot Ledger: 'An absolute demon': Scituate Animal Shelter writes hilariously honest pet profiles
The Scituate Animal Shelter is using brutally honest descriptions of their animals to help them get adopted. Shelter director Amanda Eddy Baker said she enjoys writing the descriptions and that they ...
