Birth of Daughter Cells Through Cytokinesis

Giulia Guiducci & Alice Coomer

Human retinal pigment epithelial cells undergoing cytokinesis. The image highlights the midbody, a transient structure connecting daughter cells prior to their separation, along with Anillin (shown in yellow), a key regulator of cytokinesis localising to the midbody.
The image captures the moment just before abscission, the final stage of cytokinesis, which culminates in the formation of two independent daughter cells.
