Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cell division in yeasts requires the coordination of mitosis, cytokinesis, and septation. Budding, fission, and pathogenic yeasts are all useful model organisms to study this complex process. Since the discovery of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) in yeasts, research on yeast cells has led to insights applicable to all eukaryotic cells. How cells assemble the mitotic spindle, correctly attach chromosomes to microtubules, coordinate chromosome segregation with actomyosin ring contraction, and halt the cell cycle to prevent mistakes are essential questions in cell biology, with implications for human health.
This Special Issue will focus on multiple aspects of cell division in different yeast species. The topics will include the formation of the mitotic spindle, kinetochore assembly, the regulation of mitosis by CDK, mitotic checkpoints, actomyosin ring assembly, and the formation of primary and secondary septa.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
