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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mitosis is the process by which the genetic information encoded on chromosomes is equally distributed to two daughter cells, a fundamental feature of all life on earth. Scientists now examine how ...

A normally operating mitotic spindle in C-elegan with chromosomes in red amid pipe-like microtubules in green and densely packed microtubules in yellow. Centrioles, unseen, are inside the two yellow ...

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 ...

Elevated phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mtor) expression in human neoplasms No significant financial relationships to disclose. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2007 ASCO ...

For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of cell division in ...
