Cytokinesis, the final step of cell division, relies on ingression of a precisely positioned actomyosin ring. Chromatin-associated Ran-GTP fine-tunes ring position, although the mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesize that depletion of Ran-GTP between segregating chromosomes leads to equatorial enrichment of importins, promoting recruitment of the scaff ...

The surface charge of carbon dots (CDs) governs cellular uptake; however, studies seldom compare CDs with similar physico-chemical properties thereby introducing confounding variables. Here, we investigate how the surface charge of amine-passivated carbon dots with similar optical and chemical properties influences their uptake in human cells. We synthesi ...
