The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

Plk1 bound to Bub1 contributes to spindle assembly checkpoint activity during mitosis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
For faithful chromosome segregation, the formation of stable kinetochore–microtubule attachment and its monitoring by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) are coordinately regulated by mechanisms that are currently ill-defined.

Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK) : a potential cancer drug target

open access: yes, 2011
The inability to faithfully segregate chromosomes in mitosis results in chromosome instability, a hallmark of solid tumors. Disruption of microtubule dynamics contributes highly to mitotic chromosome instability.

Sperm Telomere Interactions Are Impaired in Testicular Cancer Before and After Adjuvant Therapy

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background No study has yet explored telomere length or interaction in sperm nuclei of testicular cancer (TC) patients exposed to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, sperm telomere dynamics have emerged as a potential marker in male infertility.

On the possibility of yet a third kinetochore system in the protist phylum Euglenozoa

open access: yesmBio
Transmission of genetic material from one generation to the next is a fundamental feature of all living cells. In eukaryotes, a macromolecular complex called the kinetochore plays crucial roles during chromosome segregation by linking chromosomes to ...

Manipulating kinetochore function with synthetic physical interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The kinetochore is a large protein complex that assembles on centromeres. It enables accurate chromosome segregation by attaching chromosomes to the mitotic spindle via microtubules and by recruiting regulators that control mitosis.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells From a Klinefelter Syndrome Patient: Functional Characterization and Therapeutic Implications

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cell therapy, particularly those utilizing mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), is gaining traction as a therapeutic option for regenerative treatment in patients with limited therapeutic options. Although the safety of MSC‐based interventions is well established, uncertainties remain regarding how genetic abnormalities and ...

Keeping kinetochores on track

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cell Biology, 2012
The multiple functions of kinetochores are reflected in their complex composition, with over a hundred different proteins, which self-associate in several functional subcomplexes. Most of these kinetochore proteins were identified over the last 10-12 years using a combination of genetic, cell biological, biochemical, and bioinformatic approaches in ...

Chromosome instability and kinetochore dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Chromosomal instability (CIN) has been recognized as a hallmark of human cancer and is caused by continuous chromosome missegregation during mitosis.
