| Milestones in cell division Seminal experiments and discoveries shape the development of all scientific fields, and hold valuable lessons for future researchers. But these milestones are often recognized only by those directly in the field - hence the 'milestones in cell division' project, which aims to bring these discoveries to a wider audience. Here we celebrate the past 100 years of research in the field of cell division, with 23 'milestones' describing some of the seminal discoveries and placing them in the context of what was known at the time. The milestones have been chosen with the help of 56 experts in the field, listed in the 'advisors' section, who were each asked to select the most significant papers in their own area of expertise. These suggestions were compiled, and the top 23 discoveries were chosen as the milestones. These milestones are not intended to be comprehensive reviews - rather, they highlight a discovery (or series of discoveries) that represents a conceptual advance in the field. The milestones have been written by editors from the Nature Publishing Group, and reviewed by the panel of advisors.
The 'milestones in cell division' project is a collaborative effort from four journals - Nature, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Reviews Cancer and Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology. We hope that you will find the milestones - and the accompanying articles in the library - both enjoyable and informative.
