Cell division of wild type cells vs banp mutant cells (VIDEO)

Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University

Caption

This video shows two different cell divisions—the first is of a wild type cell dividing into two and the second is of banp mutant cell dividing into two. In the first video, the cells divide without issues and in the expected timeframe. In the second video, the cell division does not go smoothly, and it takes longer than expected. The videos appeared in the research paper published in eLife.
