During cell adhesion, integrins are typically thought to require immobilized ligands for spreading. Here, the authors demonstrate that cells can spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid subs...

In each cell division during early embryogenesis, daughter cells acquire half the size of the mother cell. A study now reports that cytoplasmic flows sensing the cell boundaries allow daughter cells t...

Afonso et al. show that, during anaphase, chromosome movement can be driven by large cytoplasmic flows. These dynein-dependent cytoplasmic flows scale with cell size, slowing in smaller cells, thereby...
