Assessment of asymmetric cell divisions in the early development of Caenorhabditis elegans
Rolf Fickentscher, Matthias Weiß
The paper quantifies asymmetric cell divisions in C. elegans embryogenesis, finding 40% of divisions produce unequal daughter cell volumes, with somatic asymmetry driven by steric effects and germline asymmetry explained by spindle displacement.
