The mitotic spindle, an apparatus that segregates chromosomes during cell division, may be more complex than the standard textbook picture suggests. The mitotic spindle, an apparatus that ...

New findings from his lab published in the July 21 advance online issue of Nature demonstrate that the way the mitotic spindle -- the machinery that separates chromosomes into daughter cells ...

Kinesin-5 proteins and microtubules are important components of the mitotic spindle, which segregates chromosomes in dividing cells. In a shop run by Tarun Kapoor, Ph.D., Rockefeller scientists ...

Three microtubule nucleation pathways function in mitotic cells to contribute microtubules to the assembling spindle, namely the centrosome-, chromatin- and microtubule-mediated pathways.

Cell division is essential to the propagation of life. During cell division, mitotic spindles segregate duplicated chromosomes with high fidelity. Spindle structure depends on the proper polar ...

The mitotic spindle pole is normally established by one centrosome containing a pair of centrioles embedded in pericentriolar material (PCM) containing γ-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs ...

Glaser, and Meredith D. Betterton (2017). Science Advances3, e1601603. DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1601603. Download. Mitotic spindles use an elegant bipolar architecture to segregate duplicated chromosomes ...

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 ...

New findings from his lab published in the July 21 advance online issue of Nature demonstrate that the way the mitotic spindle—the machinery that separates chromosomes into daughter cells during ...

Animal systems like fruit flies and sea anemones help investigate how epithelial cells maintain order while getting jostled by cell division, say researchers. New findings from his lab published ...
