Spatio-temporally separated cortical flows and spindle geometry establish physical asymmetry in fly neural stem cells
Asymmetric cell division can generate daughter cells with cell size asymmetry, but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Here the authors show that spatiotemporally controlled Myosin flows together with spindle asymmetry and positioning control cleavage furrow position and cortical expansion to e...

| Summary: | Asymmetric cell division can generate daughter cells with cell size asymmetry, but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Here the authors show that spatiotemporally controlled Myosin flows together with spindle asymmetry and positioning control cleavage furrow position and cortical expansion to establish physical asymmetry. |
