Yeast Cells Dividing

Caption

These are S. japonicus yeast cells, with nuclei shown in pink, which have been edited so that they cannot scale. The cells are shown dividing over time, starting at the top and after approximately four hours at the bottom. The cells on the left are in a narrow channel to restrict their width and are able to divide correctly, while those on the right in a wider channel cannot.
