The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is composed of a large number of lipid species
that are laterally segregated into functional domains as well as asymmetrically distributed …

Cell division, wherein 1 cell divides into 2 daughter cells, is fundamental to all living
organisms. Cytokinesis, the final step in cell division, begins with the formation of an …

Actin networks are central to shaping and moving cells during animal development. Various
spatial cues activate conserved signal transduction pathways to polarize actin network …

ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes are involved in nucleosome sliding and
eviction and/or the incorporation of histone variants into chromatin to facilitate several …

Gamete production in most animal species is initiated within an evolutionarily ancient
multicellular germline structure, the germline cyst, whose interconnected premeiotic cells …

Triocresyl phosphate (TOCP) was commonly used as flame retardant, plasticizer, lubricant,
and jet fuel additive. Studies have shown adverse effects of TOCP on the reproductive …

We analysed here the dynamic of the kinesin‐like Pavarotti (Pav) during male
gametogenesis of wild‐type and Sas4 mutant flies. Pav localizes to the equatorial region …

Syncytia are common in the animal and plant kingdoms both under normal and pathological
conditions. They form through cell fusion or division of a founder cell without cytokinesis. A …

Background The sperm of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) have special
noncondensed nuclei. The formation and stability of the special nuclei are closely related to …

All living organisms require the division of a cell into daughter cells for their growth and
maintenance. During cell division, both genetic and cytoplasmic contents are equally …
