[PDF][PDF] Exploring the function of cell shape and size during mitosis
Dividing cells almost always adopt a spherical shape. This is true of most eukaryotic cells
lacking a rigid cell wall and is observed in tissue culture and single-celled organisms, as well …

Comparative study and improvement of current cell micro-patterning techniques
The original micropatterning technique on gold, although very efficient, is not accessible to
most biology labs and is not compatible with their techniques for image acquisition. Other …

The extracellular matrix guides the orientation of the cell division axis
The cell division axis determines the future positions of daughter cells and is therefore critical
for cell fate. The positioning of the division axis has been mostly studied in systems such as …
