Cell biologists have recently come to understand that asymmetry of division is an important regulatory phenomenon in the fate of a cell. In adult organisms asymmetric divisions regulate the stem cell reservoir and are a source of the drift that contributes to aging. This book describes the phenomenon in different organisms and addresses its implications for the development of the organism, cell differentiation, human aging and the biology of cancers.In the a#39;one mother a two different daughtersa#39; pathway, a mother cell mitotically divides to produce two daughter cells of different size and fate. By contrast, the a#39; coenocyte-cellularizationa#39; pathway involves formation of a coenocyte, nuclear migration to specific locations of the coenocyte ...
