Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during ...

Imaging the molecules in a dividing cell's "spindle," a protein structure that extends from one side of the cell to the other ...

The hybrid microscope can be useful for studying proteins, as they change their 3D orientation in response to their ...

the spindle poles separate as the non-kinetochore microtubules move past each other. These latter movements are currently thought to be catalyzed by motor proteins that connect microtubules with ...

It’s a perilous process. As chromosomes line up in the middle, a mechanized protein scaffold, called the spindle, assembles on either side of that line. On each side, it resembles a squid with ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish ...

Because the core centromere function of connecting to the spindle is highly conserved across eukaryotes, we expect that centromere components would also be conserved. Contrary to this expectation, ...

Motor motion on cytoskeletal filaments is particularly important for biological length regulation, because numerous proteins targeted to microtubule ends modify their dynamics and can dramatically ...

Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish feats that neither could have done on its own.
