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

Kaela S. Lettieri, Katrina C. McNeely, Noelle D. Dwyer

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

Jessica Neville Little, Katrina C. McNeely, Nadine Michel…·Noelle D. Dwyer

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