Deconvolution of the cellular force-generating subsystems that govern cytokinesis furrow ingression.

Cytokinesis occurs through the coordinated action of several biochemically-mediated stresses acting on the cytoskeleton. Here, we develop a computational model of cellular mechanics, and using a large number of experimentally measured biophysical parameters, we simulate cell division under a number...
