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 ...

This spindle is made of fibers. The centrioles begin to separate. The activities are the same as in mitosis, except that in this cell the chromosomes attach to the membrane of the nucleus and then ...

Figure 4m, n illustrates the spindle orientations measured in 25 mitotic cells ... of NuMA to the centre of the single microtubule monoaster, but LGN remained localized to the apical cortex ...

To better understand the role of kinesin-8 proteins in mitosis, we have studied the effects of deletion of the fission-yeast kinesin-8 proteins Klp5 and Klp6 on chromosome movements and spindle length ...

When cells divide, microtubules – a dynamic network of protein filaments – form a mitotic spindle that draws the chromosomes apart and arranges them into two daughter cells. Here, plants and ...

The spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes. The centrioles are now at opposite ends of the cell. As in mitosis prometaphase, fibers from both ends of the cells attach to each one of the four ...
