Cell division: Size-scaling cytoplasmic flows transport chromosomes to the right spot

 

Résumé :

Early embryos undergo rounds of division, producing cells of reducing sizes that must scale the distance chromosomes segregate. A new study shows that this scaling results from a cell-size-dependent dampening of cytoplasmic flows that advect chromosomes.
