Microtubule nucleation is a fundamental process in eukaryotic cells, underpinning the formation of the cytoskeletal network that is critical for cell division, intracellular transport and overall ...

Cell biologist Thomas Maresca and senior research fellow Vikash Verma at the University of Massachusetts Amherst say they have, for the first time, directly observed and recorded in animal cells a ...

The chromosomes, once they have duplicated genetic information, move to the center of the cell and the cell, in a very remarkable way, quickly sprouts from its two ends large tubes that hook the ...

A multi-institutional research collaboration has revealed that the microtubule network (*1), which plays a vital role in cell construction and polarization (*2), utilizes the phase separation (*3) ...

Researchers have successfully recreated a key process involved in cell division in a test tube, uncovering the vital role played by a protein that is elevated in over 25% of all cancers. esearchers at ...

Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center reveal a surprising new origin for cellular "highways .They report that the Golgi apparatus -- a stack of pancake-shaped compartments that sorts and ...

Critical concentrations for formation of microtubules from subunits with GTP and its $\beta $,$\gamma $-imido and $\beta $,$\gamma $-methylene analogs are similar when adequate time is given for ...

Researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology find that an anchoring complex stabilizes microtubule creation sites within plant cells, then recruits katanin - named after the katana sword ...

Isolation of centrosomes from human cells has revealed a proteic pattern which is both complex and specific. As the most prominent structural element of centrosomes in animal cells, the centriole ...
