Journal ArticleDOI

The extracellular matrix guides the orientation of the cell division axis

TL;DR: It is proposed that the ECM controls the location of actin dynamics at the membrane, and thus the segregation of cortical components in interphase and mitosis and is maintained on the cortex of mitotic cells and used for spindle orientation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anisotropy of cell adhesive microenvironment governs cell internal organization and orientation of polarity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ECM geometry determines the orientation of cell polarity axes and proposed a working model that accounts for that observation concludes that, in addition to molecular composition and mechanical properties,ECM geometry plays a key role in developmental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Centrosome composition and microtubule anchoring mechanisms.

TL;DR: The role of the centriole pair in controlling both the structural stability and the activity of theCentrosome in animal cells is now becoming clearer and the potential use of the generational asymmetry of centrosomes or spindle pole bodies for controlling cell polarity is growing theme.
Journal ArticleDOI

The respective contributions of the mother and daughter centrioles to centrosome activity and behavior in vertebrate cells.

TL;DR: Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy reveals that the centriole pair inherited after mitosis splits during or just after telophase, and a model, based on differences in Mt anchoring and release by the mother and daughter centrioles is proposed to explain these results.
