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 ...
To guarantee that a cell's entire genome is faithfully transmitted, chromosomes duplicate, condense, and segregate on a mitotic spindle. The mitotic spindle consists of two microtubule asters that ...
Bipolar spindle assembly requires a balance of forces where kinesin-5 produces outward pushing forces to antagonize the inward pulling forces from kinesin-14 or dynein. Accordingly, Kinesin-5 ...

Mechanistic model for MTOC maturation in GV oocytes. The MTOC (grey) activates near the oocyte cortex, which requires recruitment of CKAP5 and TACC3. After activation, MTOC migrates to the nuclear ...
