Deskripsi

During cell division animal cells generate intracellular pressure and round against their environment, but the genes responsible for this are largely unknown. Here the authors use a microcantilever- and RNAi-based assay to screen > 1000 genes and identify 49 genes involved in mitotic cell rounding; many are novel to this process.
