Timelapse of a gene-edited medaka fish embryo undergoing mitosis. The mitotic spindle – the green strands in the middle of the cells – can be seen aligning and segregating duplicated chromosomes, ...
Cell division is essential to the propagation of life. During cell division, mitotic spindles segregate duplicated chromosomes with high fidelity. Spindle structure depends on the proper polar ...
CU Boulder News & Events: Distinct regions of the kinesin-5 C-terminal tail are essential for mitotic spindle midzone localization and sliding force
Zachary Gergely, Michele Jones, Bojun Zhou, Cai Cash, J. Richard McIntosh, and Meredith D. Betterton (2023). Distinct regions of the kinesin-5 C-terminal tail are essential for mitotic spindle midzone ...
Distinct regions of the kinesin-5 C-terminal tail are essential for mitotic spindle midzone localization and sliding force
Many millions of times per day, football-shaped structures called mitotic spindles form within the body’s cells as they prepare to divide. The process is routine but mysterious, as the micro-mechanics ...
For a living cell to divide successfully, each daughter cell must inherit the correct genetic material. In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a ...
EurekAlert!: Researchers probe the physical forces involved in creating the mitotic spindle
Many millions of times per day, football-shaped structures called mitotic spindles form within the body's cells as they prepare to divide. The process is routine but mysterious, as the micro-mechanics ...
Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...
