Microtubule Destabilizing Kinesins: A Historical Perspective and Thoughts for the Future
ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton plays critical roles in multiple cellular processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Cells contain a number of microtubule‐associated proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics both temporally and spatially in cells. The microtubule depolymerizing kinesins include members of the Kinesin‐

Precise mitotic spindle orientation is essential for both cell fate and tissue organization while defects in this process are associated with tumorigenesis and other diseases.

The spindle position checkpoint (SPOC) is a spindle pole body (SPB, equivalent of mammalian centrosome) associated surveillance mechanism that halts mitotic exit upon spindle mis-orientation.

Assembly and Maintenance of Myofibrils in the Heart
ABSTRACT The assembly of actin and myosin to the paracrystalline arrangement of myofibrils in striated muscle, that is, heart and skeletal, has puzzled many a cell biologist. Different models, based on cultured cardiomyocytes, were proposed for the last 30 years to explain the sequence of events.

C-Nap1, a novel centrosomal coiled-coil protein and candidate substrate of the cell cycle-regulated protein kinase Nek2 [PDF]
Nek2 (for NIMA-related kinase 2) is a mammalian cell cycle-regulated kinase structurally related to the mitotic regulator NIMA of Aspergillus nidulans.

ABSTRACT Background Primary pulmonary mesenchymal neoplasms with EWSR1::CREM fusion are rare. These lesions are challenging to diagnose by morphology and immunohistochemistry alone. Case A 66‐year‐old woman (ex‐smoker) was found to have a 1.3‐cm right lower lobe lung nodule that had grown very slowly over a 9‐year period.

Dual pathway spindle assembly increases both the speed and the fidelity of mitosis [PDF]
Roughly half of all animal somatic cell spindles assemble by the classical prophase pathway, in which the centrosomes separate ahead of nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD).

Epithelioid Enigma: Proximal‐Type Epithelioid Sarcoma in Cyst Fluid Cytology
ABSTRACT Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare, aggressive soft tissue malignancy with substantial morphologic overlap with other epithelioid neoplasms, creating diagnostic difficulty in cytology specimens. We report proximal‐type ES identified in cyst fluid from a lesion clinically interpreted as an epidermal inclusion cyst or abscess.

New Roles of Chk1 in Spindle Formation and Genome Integrity
During mitosis sister chromatids are accurately segregated into two daughter cells through a microtubule-based structure known as the mitotic spindle. Errors in mitotic spindle formation have been associated with human diseases and tumorigenesis.

The mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) maintains genome stability and marks an important target for antineoplastic therapies. However, it has remained unclear how cells execute cell fate decisions under conditions of SAC‐induced mitotic arrest ...
