Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

In multicellular organisms, the execution of developmental and homeostatic programs often relies on asymmetric cell divisions. These divisions require the alignment of the mitotic spindle axis to ...

Asymmetric division is a fundamental mechanism used by stem cells to drive commitment of one daughter cell to differentiation while simultaneously maintaining stemness in the other daughter cell.
