Evolution of mitotic spindle behavior during the first asymmetric embryonic division of nematodes.

PLoS biology - 1 Jan 2018

Valfort Aurore-Cécile, Launay Caroline, Sémon Marie, Delattre Marie

Abstract excerpt

Asymmetric cell division is essential to generate cellular diversity. In many animal cells, the cleavage plane lies perpendicular to the mitotic spindle, and it is the spindle positioning that dictates the size of the daughter cells. Although some properties of spindle positioning are conserved between distantly related model species and different cell types, little is known of the evolutionary robustness of the...
