SUMMARY:The mechanics and evolution of cell division - Buzz Baum (LMB) and

DESCRIPTION:Living systems propagate by undergoing rounds of cell growth a
 nd division. In fact\, all modern day organisms are the progeny of a singl
 e cell that divided over 3.5 billion years ago. In this talk\, by looking 
 at features of the cell division machinery that we (eukaryotes) share with
  our cellular relatives\, the archaea\, we will attempt to shed light on t
 he origins of our cell division machinery. By studying\, experimentally an
 d numerically\, cell division in Sulfolobus\, a member of the TACK/Asgard 
 archaea\, we will ask whether it is possible to use these relatively simpl
 e organisms to reveal fundamental physical features of the process of cell
  division that are hard to discern in our cells because of their relative 
 complexity.\n\nPlease Register here\nhttps://bit.ly/39Hrchn
