How does a Drosophila wing grow to the appropriate size and shape? Although a collaboration of cell division with the patterning of cell fates seems obvious, almost nothing is known about how these two processes are coordinated during development. A recent paper 1 finds that blocking cell division uncouples cell growth from the cell division cycle, displaying remarkable flexibility in the ability of the wing primordia to achieve the right proportions with fewer than normal cells.

Melanoma of the uvea of the eye and melanoma of the skin share a common cell of origin, but differ substantially in their behaviour and response to chemotherapy. There is increasing evidence that this is related to differences in their molecular phenotype, particularly in relation to the expression
The purpose of this short review is to provide an overview of mammalian somatic cell cycle events and their controls. Cell cycle-related studies have been under way for only 5% of this millennium, yet since then nearly 20,000 references have appeared. This vast literature cannot be detailed here, no
