1A). The latter category of microtubules is absent in anastral spindles of the kind that are formed, for instance, in many meiotic cells. In combination, these findings build a picture of the ...

Do microtubules of virus-infected cells show different dynamic properties in situ, as could be analysed by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching? Are they able to go through normal re ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes.

Centrioles are cylindrical organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of animal cells. They are found near the nucleus and ...

A cell division resembling that of an animal embryo has been observed in a prehistoric unicellular organism, suggesting that ...

The primary cilia observed in this study came from both animal and human beta cells. The researchers examined how the skeletal structure (axoneme) formed by microtubules is organized. They discovered ...

During cell division, PRC1 plays a key role in organizing cell division. It crosslinks microtubules, helping to form a structure in the crucial region where microtubules overlap and chromosomes ...
