This study was intended to characterize the chromosome segregation process of Xanthomonas citri ssp. citri (Xac) by investigating the functionality of the ParB factor encoded on its chromosome, and its requirement for cell ...

In recognition of the telecommunications industry’s increasing importance for the growth and competitiveness of Latin American countries, this edition of the FAL Bulletin is based on the presentation given by Mr. Patricio ...

The vertebrate retina is made up of seven principal cell types. These seven retinal cell types arise from multipotent retinal progenitor cells (RPCs). The competency model was proposed suggesting that RPCs undergo a series ...

Organ cell diversity depends on binary cell-fate decisions mediated by the Notch signalling pathway during development and tissue homeostasis. A clear example is the series of binary cell-fate decisions that take place ...

Scaffold proteins allow specific protein complexes to be assembled in particular regions of the cell at which they organize subcellular structures and signal transduction complexes. This characteristic is especially important ...

The researches on cortical neurogenesis reveal that asymmetric division plays a key role in controlling the balance between the self-renewal of stem cells and the beginning of the neural differentiation. In such a process ...

Cell kinetics parameters were obtained for the three mitotic divisions leading to formation of stomata in the epidermis of the cotyledon of Allium cepa seedlings. Analysis of mitotic frequencies throughout the course of ...
