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

Without triplet microtubules centriolar cylinders can still form, but are unstable, resulting is futile rounds of de novo centriole assembly during S phase and disassembly during mitosis. Here the ...

Figure 1 Simplified role of microtubules in mitosis. Catastrophe rate of cytoplasmic microtubules increases to provide building blocks to different populations of spindle microtubules required for ...

A joint research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) and the Faculty of Science at the University of Hong Kong has uncovered an unexpected interaction between chemotherapeutic agents and a ...

This activity and guide has been thoughtfully designed to help you fully understand exactly what's happening at every stage of mitosis. Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are ...

The long tail of a sperm cell, the finger-like cilia in the lungs, and the long axons of nerves are all built with microtubules—basic building blocks of the cell’s cytoskeleton. These structures are a ...

The outer kinetochore connects the inner kinetochore to microtubules, transmitting forces from microtubule depolymerization to move chromosomes. Known as the KMN protein assembly, it includes the KNL1 ...

There are a significant number of words, phrases and acronyms that appear when talking about race and ethnicity which often change depending on the context of the conversation. Language is ...
