Cytokinetic abscission failures in a polarized epithelium affect apical membrane size and cilia

This study examines how abscission failures in a polarized epithelium affect apical membrane size and cilia, using Cep55 knockout mouse neuroepithelium as a model.

Loss of coiled-coil protein Cep55 impairs abscission processes and results in p53-dependent apoptosis in developing cortex

This study shows that Cep55 loss in mice causes microcephaly through abscission defects and p53-dependent apoptosis in the developing cortex.

Cytokinesis and post-abscission midbody remnants are regulated during mammalian brain development

The paper analyzes cytokinetic furrow ingression and abscission in mouse neuroepithelium, finding developmentally regulated abscission timing and midbody release affecting daughter cell fate.
