Kinesin-5 Eg5 is essential for spindle assembly and chromosome alignment of mouse spermatocytes
Cell Division, 2020 Background Microtubule organization is essential for bipolar spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, which contribute to genome stability. Kinesin-5 Eg5 is known to be a crucial regulator in centrosome separation and spindle assembly in mammalian ...

Polo-like kinase 4: the odd one out of the family
Cell Division, 2010 Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is a unique member of the Polo-like family of kinases that shares little homology with its siblings and has an essential role in centriole duplication.

Can eukaryotic cells monitor the presence of unreplicated DNA?
Cell Division, 2007 Completion of DNA replication before mitosis is essential for genome stability and cell viability. Cellular controls called checkpoints act as surveillance mechanisms capable of detecting errors and blocking cell cycle progression to allow time for those
