NASHVILLE, Tennessee, March 24 (TNSjou) -- Vanderbilt University Medical Center issued the following news:
In the final step of cell division, cytokinesis, one cell becomes two. Without complete separation, abnormal cells can accumulate and set the stage for tumor formation.
One of the main controllers of cytokinesis is the protein Cdc15, which localizes to the dividing cell membrane -- linking it to the cytokinetic ring, the constricting machinery that squeezes daughte . . .
