It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parents assumes a spherical shape, which ...

New research reveals that cells don't always become round before dividing, challenging over a century of textbook biology.

Students are currently taught that during cell division, a ‘parent’ cell will become spherical before splitting into two ‘daughter’ cells of equal size and shape. However, the study reveals that cell ...
