Endothelial cells are found in the inner layer of both blood and lymphatic vessels and they play a role in substance transport and in a variety of other physiological processes.
Mitosis
One of the samples led to the observation of a mitotic process (left on the footage). During the live cell imaging of the sample we could observe chromatin condensation, chromosome alineation in the metaphase plate, chromatids migration and the formation of the contractile ring and further separation in two fully functional daughter cells.
Mitosis Abortion
On the right side of the footage, the observed cell seems to enter mitosis, but the chromatids do not complete segregation and the cell goes back to interphase without dividing.
