Emerging mechanisms of asymmetric stem cell division

ZG Venkei, YM Yamashita - Journal of Cell Biology, 2018 - rupress.org
The asymmetric cell division of stem cells, which produces one stem cell and one
differentiating cell, has emerged as a mechanism to balance stem cell self-renewal and …

Elongator stabilizes microtubules to control central spindle asymmetry and polarized trafficking of cell fate determinants

VJ Planelles-Herrero, A Bittleston, C Seum… - Nature cell …, 2022 - nature.com
Asymmetric cell division gives rise to two daughter cells that inherit different determinants,
thereby acquiring different fates. Polarized trafficking of endosomes containing fate …

Protein phosphatase 1: life‐course regulation by SDS22 and Inhibitor‐3

X Cao, S Lemaire, M Bollen - The FEBS Journal, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is expressed in all eukaryotic cells and catalyzes a sizable

Asymmetric Notch activity by differential inheritance of lysosomes in human neural stem cells

B Bohl, A Jabali, J Ladewig, P Koch - Science Advances, 2022 - science.org
Symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions are conserved strategies for stem cell expansion
and the generation of more committed progeny, respectively. Here, we demonstrate that in …

Microtubule polarity determines the lineage of embryonic neural precursor in zebrafish spinal cord

CA Richard, C Seum, M Gonzalez-Gaitan - Communications Biology, 2024 - nature.com

New dimensions of asymmetric division in vertebrates

A Vertii, PD Kaufman, H Hehnly, S Doxsey - Cytoskeleton, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Traditionally, we imagine that cell division gives rise to two identical daughter cells.
Nevertheless, all cell divisions, to some degree, display asymmetry. Asymmetric cell division …

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of asymmetric stem cell division in tissue homeostasis

S Bolkent - Genes to Cells, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
