Cell cycle regulation

Abstract

We gathered in Philadelphia in balmy early March for the 48th Annual Drosophila Research Conference. It was a surprise to us that the session we had come to expect, 'Mitosis, Meiosis and Cell Division' was no longer on the program. Instead we found mitosis talks and posters in 'Cell Division and Growth Control', meiosis talks and posters in 'Gametogenesis and Sex Determination' and cytokinesis talks and posters in 'Cytoskeleton and Cell Biology'. We, therefore, split up for maximal coverage and re-grouped later for the Workshop on Cell Cycle Checkpoints. We apologize in advance for the brevity or omission of some reports, especially those on meiosis presented during regular sessions. © 2007 Landes Bioscience.
