Pattern formation by segregation is a process that is not confined to embryonic development.
Considerable advance has been made in recent years in the research field of pattern formation by segregation of tissue cells.
Authors have shown the autonomous emergence of asymmetry as well as the formation and segregation of distinct cell populations of different sizes in an initially equivalent cell population without pre-existing intrinsic differences.
Among these mechanisms, polymer adsorption (layer formation) and segregation of flow pathways have been considered as the dominant mechanisms for DPR when polymers solutions (without cross-linker) are used.
One exception to this generalization is the case of peatlands in the permafrost zone where the formation of segregation ice has important impact on the nature of peat landforms.
Polo-like kinases control multiple events during cell division, including mitotic entry, centrosome organization, spindle formation, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis.
Here we report the identification of four novel TbAUK1 associated proteins and show that they are required for spindle formation, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis in procyclic trypanosomes.
The serine/threonine kinase Aurora-A (Aur-A) is essential for mitotic entry, centrosome duplication, spindle formation, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis [3].
