Cytokinesis occurs after nuclear division and is the process that divides the cytoplasm to give rise to two new cells, each with one set of chromosomes. Cytokinesis begins with the contraction of ...

Cytokinesis ensures proper partitioning of genomic and cytoplasmic material between dividing cells. A key regulator of this process is the centralspindlin complex. Two recent papers report that ...

The rest of the cell continues to divide. Only when two, distinct cells form will cytokinesis, the division of the cell's cytoplasm, be complete. There are now four daughter cells. Each cell has ...
