Robust Cell Size Checkpoint from Spatiotemporal Positive Feedback Loop in Fission Yeast

Cells must maintain appropriate cell size during proliferation. Size control may be regulated by a size checkpoint that couples cell size to cell division. Biological experimental data suggests that the cell size is coupled to the cell cycle in two ways: the rates of protein synthesis and the cell p...
