Cell division is a process by which a cell, called the parent cell, divides into two or more cells, called daughter cells. Cell division is usually a small segment of a larger cell cycle.

It is now widely recognized that intrinsically unstructured (or disordered) proteins (IUPs or IDPs) are found in organisms from all kingdoms of life. In eukaryotes, IUPs are highly abundant and ...

To investigate how cells maintain their proteostasis during cell division, we employed a proteostasis reporter consists of a firefly luciferase mutant prone for protein misfolding and protein ...

The manuscript addresses the connection between the clearance of misfolded protein aggregates and the cell cycle using a proteostasis reporter targeted to ER in multiple cell lines. Through imaging ...

Symmetry is a fundamental characteristic of most multi-cell animals. However, the cell division of embryonic cells is asymmetric. A team led by Prof. Dr. Esther Zanin at the Department of Biology ...
