Midbody remnant engulfment after cytokinesis abscission in mammalian cells

Abstract excerpt

The midbody remnant (MBR) that is generated after cytokinetic abscission has recently attracted a lot of attention, because it might have crucial consequences for cell differentiation and tumorigenesis in mammalian cells. In these cells, it has been reported that the MBR is either released into the extracellular medium or retracted into one of the two daughter cells where it can be degraded by autophagy. Here, we...
