Long protein fibers called microtubules extend from the centrioles in all possible directions, forming what is called a spindle. Some of the microtubules attach the poles to the chromosomes by ...

the nuclear import and export of the Kinesin-8 heterodimer Klp5–Klp6 is controlled to ensure localization to cytoplasmic microtubules in interphase and to the nuclear mitotic spindle during ...

To pull it off, these microscopic hollow tube structures, called “microtubules,” don’t rely on our everyday flavor of classical physics. Instead, experts believe, microtubules perform ...

Protein filaments, like microtubules, and molecular motors are ... through the interplay of filaments and motors is the ...
