The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements ... It is now well-established that spindles are bipolar arrays of microtubules composed of tubulin (Figure 5) and ...

Microtubules are the largest type of filament ... such as the pinching off of the cell membrane in the final step of cell division (also known as cytokinesis) are produced by the contractile ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

First atomic-scale 'movie' of microtubules under construction, a key process for cell division Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas (CNIO) Journal Science Funder Ministerio de Ciencia e ...

Protein filaments, like microtubules, and molecular motors ... which is responsible for correct cell division. Research conducted by a team at the University of California, Santa Barbara, using ...

These highly efficient and specialized proteins are responsible for a wide range of essential cellular processes, including muscle contraction, cell division, and intracellular transport. Molecular ...

The aim of my research is to gain a stronger understanding of how the cytoskeleton is regulated during cell division, migration and polarity. I am interested in how microtubules and actomyosin control ...
