Abstract
The midbody is an electron-dense structure that forms between two dividing daughter cells, and a midbody remnant is left after completion of cell separation. This structure has been regarded as a piece of cellular debris, but two recent papers suggest an unexpected function for the midbody remnant in promoting an undifferentiated cellular phenotype.Mesh:
