Researchers from University of California San Francisco have found that a protein known as clathrin, which plays a key role in transporting materials within the cells, also has an important role in cell division. The discovery, featured on the cover of the iJournal of Cell Biology/i in August, sheds light on the process of cell division and provides a new angle for understanding cancer. Without clathrin, cells divide erratically and unevenly-a phenomenon that ...Tuesday, 11 September 2012
