Cell division without growth results in progressive cell size reductions during early
embryonic development. How do the sizes of intracellular structures and organelles scale …

Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis have long been used to drive discovery in
developmental, cell, and molecular biology. These dual frog species boast experimental …

Cells have adapted to mechanical forces early in evolution and have developed multiple
mechanisms ensuring sensing of, and adaptation to, the diversity of forces operating outside …

Storing and regulating the cell's genetic material is a complex process vital to maintaining
proper cell function and, in eukaryotes, the nucleus is largely responsible for this process …

Stentor coeruleus provides a unique opportunity to study how cells regulate nuclear shape
because its macronucleus undergoes a rapid, dramatic, and developmentally regulated …

Balancing self-renewal and differentiation is a key feature of every stem cell niche and one
that is tuned by mechanical interactions of cells with their neighbors and surrounding …

The nucleus is an organelle which holds the cell's DNA and compartmentalizes processes
like DNA replication, repair, and transcription. Morphological features of the nucleus …

How nuclei are shaped within cells is one of the fundamental questions of cellular spatial
patterning. This question has been mainly investigated in metazoan cells, as misshapen …

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published
in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside …
