Mitotic spindles are dynamic, self-organizing, intracellular structures that are essential for cell division. Spindles are composed of proteins, cytoskeletal elements and microtubules, which are a key ...
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 ...
Cambridge, Mass. - - The mitotic spindle, an apparatus that segregates chromosomes during cell division, may be more complex than the standard textbook picture suggests, according to ...
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 ...
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
It is well established that the mitotic spindle, the organelle responsible for chromosome segregation during mitosis, is built from microtubules, motor proteins, and associated structural and ...
