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 ...

It is now well-established that spindles are bipolar arrays of microtubules composed of tubulin (Figure 5) and that the centrosomes nucleate the growth of the spindle microtubules. During mitosis ...

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 ...

The team mixes bundles of microtubules—biopolymers crucial for ... from cell alignment in tissues to the mitotic spindle organization during cell division. "Beyond confirming a theory, this ...

The mitotic checkpoint (MC) ensures proper segregation of chromosomes by delaying anaphase until all kinetochores are bound to microtubules ... once all chromosomes are properly attached to the ...
