During late anaphase and telophase, animal cells develop a bundle of antiparallel, interdigitating microtubules between the two daughter nuclei. Recent data indicate that this structure, called the central spindle, plays an essential role during cytokinesis. Studies in Drosophila and on vertebrate c

## Abstract Cytokinesis ensures proper partitioning of the nucleocytoplasmic contents into two daughter cells. It has generally been thought that cytokinesis is accomplished differently in animals and plants because of the differences in the preparatory phases, into the centrosomal or acentrosomal
In cultures of the epithelial cell lines, PtK2 and LLC-PK, some cells assume unusually large flattened morphologies and, during cell division, produce unusual cleavage furrows. We have microinjected some of these large cells with fluorescent actin and myosin probes to determine how the cell's shape
Low viability of manipulated or in vitro cultured embryos is caused primarily by the reduced cell number in the implanting blastocysts. In order to investigate the effect of implantation delay on embryo viability and cell number, mouse blastocysts were transferred into oviducts of day 0 pseudopregna
