This paper provides evidence for a novel mechanism in mammals that uses the process of Golgi fragmentation and reconstitution to precisely coordinate cell-cycle progression and cell-fate specification, thereby allowing a cell-fate determinant like Numb to play multiple roles during asymmetric cell divisions.

This paper shows that a phosphorylation cascade triggered by Aurora-A as cell cycle progresses is responsible for asymmetrically localizing Numb during asymmetric divisions by Drosophila neural precursor cells.

This paper provides evidence that Bora activates Aurora-A through direct binding and a Cdc2-dependent mechanism that relocates Bora from the nucleus to the cytoplasm at the onset of mitosis.
