Front Cover: A triple exposure fluorescent photomicrograph of a new lung epithelial cell (pneumocyte) in metaphase of mitosis. After fixation in glutaraldehyde this cell was stained for the indirect immunofluorescent localizat ion ofmicrotubules (green) using a monoclonal antibody against alpha-tubulin and an FITC-conjugated secondary antibody. It was then similarly stained for keratin-type intermediate filaments (red) using a rabbit polyclonal antibody and a TRITC-conjugated secondary antibody. Finally the chromosomes (blue) were counter stained with Hoechst 33342. In newts, as in most vertebrate epithelia, the spindle forms within a "cage" of intermediate filaments that sterically impede the migration of other large cellular components into the area formerly occupied by the nucleus.

Preface The "Progress in Cell Cycle Research" series has been conceived to serve as a collection of reviews on various aspects of a fast growing biology field, the cell division cycle. These reviews do not pretend to cover all aspects of cell cycle regulation and mechanisms but rather focus on a few topics of particular interest in the recent literature. This third volume starts with a broad overview of the diversity of ways by which viruses subdue their host cell cycle (chapter 1). Of particular interest in this area is the case of HN which has recently been extensively investigated (chapter 2). Although most of our understanding of cell cycle regulation derives from work performed in yeast and animal cells, plant models, reviewed in chapter 3 for one of the best studied example, Arabidopsis, are starting to contribute significantly to the cell cycle general picture. In mammals, the regulation of cell division of two types of tissues, the intestine (chapter 4) and the developing muscle (chapter 5) are investigated in an
