The Davies Lab (Durham University, UK) is advertising a funded 3-year postdoc position to start in October 2025 (approximately). Cytokinesis, the division of one cell into two, is crucial for an animal’s development and healthy life and shows many conserved features across the animal kingdom. Using the C. elegans embryo, we have previously shown that […]

Background: Cytokinesis, the physical division of one cell into two, is fundamental to life and errors can result in abnormal chromosomal numbers, developmental defects, and cancers. In order to divide, animal cells build an actomyosin contractile ring at the equator that constricts and divides the cell1. Similarities in the structural and molecular organization of the […]

Cell division is fundamental to life and errors can result in abnormal chromosomal numbers, developmental defects, and cancers. Similarities in the structural and molecular organization of the division apparatus gives the textbook picture, that mechanisms underlying division, including formation and constriction of an actomyosin contractile ring, do not vary between cell and organism types. However, […]
