Food irradiation

When collisions damage DNA or RNA effective reproduction becomes unlikely, also when collisions occur in cells, cell division is often suppressed.

Halichondria

This genus of sponges became important through the discovery of cell division limiting properties of the extract Halichondrin B, which inhibits cell mitosis.

Anthony A. Hyman

Hyman has worked on creating parts lists for cell division among human cells as part of the EU funded project Mitocheck.

Chemoton

In fact, this is close to the cell division of cell wall-less bacteria, such as Mycoplasma.

Dysplastic nevus

In 40-50% of cases, the disorder has been linked with germline mutations in the CDKN2A gene, which codes for p16 (a regulator of cell division).

Photosynthetic picoplankton

In 1988, two American researchers, Carpenter and Chang, had suggested estimating the speed of cell division of phytoplankton by following the course of DNA replication by microscopy.

Phycoplast

In the Chlorophyceae, the most common form of cell division occurs via a phycoplast.

Pom1

Pom1 is a polarity protein kinase in fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe), that localizes to cell ends and regulates cell division.

Taxane

Microtubules are essential to cell division, and taxanes stabilize GDP-bound tubulin in the microtubule, thereby inhibiting the process of cell division — a "frozen mitosis".

Wellcome Trust Centre for Gene Regulation and Expression

Professor Jason Swedlow is a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow and investigates how chromosomes are separated during cell division.
