In the cell, microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) dynamically nucleate microtubules and arrange them in functional patterns, but microtubule anchoring to MTOCs is not well understood. A novel ...

Centromeres are unique chromosomal domains that control chromosome segregation, and are epigenetically specified by the presence of the CENP-A containing nucleosomes. CENP-A governs centromere ...

New cells are formed during cell division by a precisely regulated partitioning of cellular content into the two daughter cells. Cell division is therefore a fundamental biological process in which ...

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 segregates ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The entire framework of microtubules (MTs) in the mitotic apparatus of Ochromonas danica is reconstructed (except at the spindle poles) from ...

Abnormalities in the spindles (the bi-polar thread like structures that link and pull the chromosomes during cell division) of human embryos before implantation may be the primary reason for many of ...

Although the process of mitotic cell division has been studied intensely for more than 50 years, Whitehead Institute researchers have only now solved the mystery of how cells correctly align their ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 28, No. 8 (Oct., 1941), pp. 713-722 (10 pages) The first microspore division in many seed plants differs from the usual type of mitosis in that: (1) the prophase ...

Cambridge, Mass. - April 26, 2012 - The mitotic spindle, an apparatus that segregates chromosomes during cell division, may be more complex than the standard textbook picture suggests, according to ...
