Accordingly, the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan promotes cytokinetic ring contraction (in normal conditions) and efficient cell separation after ring contraction (in sensitised background). Note how long it takes post-constriction for some cells to fail cytokinesis. 9/11

Cytokinesis is essential for dividing one cell into two. Can you imagine life without it?
While we learned (and continue to learn) a lot from studies in single animal cells dividing in petri dishes, cells within an organism face unique challenges shaped by their environment. 2/11

Explore our journey as we uncover how regulators of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions modulate cytokinesis efficiency, while revealing new roles for the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex.
