Local fluidization of an active cytoplasmic gel partitions large cells

2026-08-12

Abstract excerpt

Early animal embryos undergo rapid cleavages that partition cytoplasmic volumes orders of magnitude larger than those of somatic cells 1 . Each division must reposition nuclei and centrosomes and distribute organelles within minutes, over distances up to hundreds of micrometers 2 . Cleavage furrows are positioned by microtubule asters 3,4 , but the mechanical mechanism for long-range transport of cytoplasmic co...
