Flow, sense and divide - Nature Cell Biology
In each cell division during early embryogenesis, daughter cells acquire half the size of the mother cell. A study now reports that cytoplasmic flows sensing the cell boundaries allow daughter cells t...

Cytoplasmic flow is a cell size sensor that scales anaphase - Nature Cell Biology
Afonso et al. show that, during anaphase, chromosome movement can be driven by large cytoplasmic flows. These dynein-dependent cytoplasmic flows scale with cell size, slowing in smaller cells, thereby...
