14‐3‐3ε conditional knockout mice exhibit defects in the development of the epidermis
A knockout of 14‐3‐3ε in the basal layer of the epidermis in mice leads to a decrease in proliferation and the thickness of the epidermis and decreased expression of differentiation markers. The knockout cells also show centrosome amplification, suggesting that centrosome amplification leads to decreased proliferation and subsequent thinning of the ...

This study focuses on the limited cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) penetration, a major challenge for its clinical application, in vivo and the results show the depth‐dependent biological effect of CAP treatment for the first time. Mitochondria damage and dysfunction induced by low dose CAP suppress microtubule assemble and spindle bipolar, and ultimately

Human Tubulin Binding Cofactor C (TBCC) is a post-chaperonin involved in the folding and assembly of α- and β-tubulin monomers leading to the release of productive tubulin heterodimers ready to polymerize into microtubules.

A single psychotomimetic dose of ketamine decreases thalamocortical spindles and delta oscillations in the sedated rat [PDF]
Background: In patients with psychotic disorders, sleep spindles are reduced, supporting the hypothesis that the thalamus and glutamate receptors play a crucial etio-pathophysiological role, whose underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized that a reduced function of NMDA receptors is involved in the spindle deficit observed in schizophrenia.

Notch Activation Is Associated with Tetraploidy and Enhanced Chromosomal Instability in Meningiomas
The Notch signaling cascade is deregulated in diverse cancer types. Specific Notch function in cancer is dependent on the cellular context, the particular homologs expressed, and cross-talk with other signaling pathways.

Kinesin-5 motors are required for organization of spindle microtubules in
Background Monastrol, a chemical inhibitor specific to the Kinesin-5 family of motor proteins, was used to examine the functional roles of Kinesin-5 proteins during the first, asymmetric cell division cycle in the brown alga Silvetia compressa.

Disruption of mouse Cenpj, a regulator of centriole biogenesis, phenocopies Seckel syndrome.
Disruption of the centromere protein J gene, CENPJ (CPAP, MCPH6, SCKL4), which is a highly conserved and ubiquitiously expressed centrosomal protein, has been associated with primary microcephaly and the microcephalic primordial dwarfism disorder Seckel ...
