The mechanisms by which cell polarity is translated into segregation ... evidence indicates that spindle positioning is mediated by microtubule depolymerization and dynein function, as well ...

Judging from their organization, they would be important in the function of creating the microtubule organization ... surface of membranes is involved in determining the cell shape and cell polarity.

A team led by Prof. Wang Chao and Prof. Huang Chengdong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the ...

Their findings, published in Developmental Cell, shed light on how a protein called CDK5RAP2 activates the microtubule nucleator γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC), a key component of this skeleton ...

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease.
