Adducin-1 is essential for mitotic spindle assembly through its interaction with myosin-X [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mitotic spindles are microtubule-based structures, but increasing evidence indicates that filamentous actin (F-actin) and F-actin-based motors are components of these structures.

PLK4 is a potential therapeutic target in nonmelanoma skin cancers: Evidence from molecular and in vivo studies

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is the main etiologic driver of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including basal cell (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), which are the most prevalent types of cancers in the US. In this study, we demonstrate that the serine/threonine kinase Polo‐like kinase 4 (PLK4) is overexpressed in NMSCs ...

Polo-like kinase 4 controls centriole duplication but does not directly regulate cytokinesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Centrioles organize the centrosome, and accurate control of their number is critical for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Centrioles duplicate once per cell cycle, and duplication is coordinated by Polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4).

Prognostic Value of a Histopathological Scoring System and the Ki67 Proliferation Index in Dogs With Phaeochromocytoma

open access: yesVeterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Canine phaeochromocytomas (PCCs) are neuroendocrine tumours with malignant potential. Metastatic disease remains the sole definitive evidence of malignancy. Histopathological criteria to predict long‐term survival have not been established in dogs.

Cytoplasmic MTOCs control spindle orientation for asymmetric cell division in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Proper orientation of the cell division axis is critical for asymmetric cell divisions that underpin cell differentiation. In animals, centrosomes are the dominant microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) and play a pivotal role in axis determination by ...

Decreased PTGES2 Farnesylation in Granulosa Cells Compromises PGE2‐Dependent Cumulus Expansion and Oocyte Maturation During Ovarian Aging

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
A schematic showing decreased PTGES2 farnesylation in granulosa cells compromises PGE2‐dependent cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation during ovarian aging. In young ovaries, PTGES2 farnesylation of GCs regulates the process of cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation by facilitating PGE2 production.

Abnormal kinetochore-generated pulling forces from expressing a N-terminally modified Hec1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Highly Expressed in Cancer protein 1 (Hec1) is a constituent of the Ndc80 complex, a kinetochore component that has been shown to have a fundamental role in stable kinetochore-microtubule attachment, chromosome alignment and spindle ...

Distinct firing patterns of identified basket and dendrite-targeting interneurons in the prefrontal cortex during hippocampal theta and local spindle oscillations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The medial prefrontal cortex is involved in working memory and executive control. However, the collective spatiotemporal organization of the cellular network has not been possible to explain during different brain states.Weshow that pyramidal cells in ...

MASTL Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression and Paclitaxel Resistance Through Mitotic Catastrophe

open access: yesCancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 377-392, February 2026.
MASTL drives hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and paclitaxel resistance by triggering mitotic catastrophe. Depletion of MASTL induces DNA damage and promotes mitotic catastrophe, leading to cell death in HCC. MASTL‐mediated mitotic catastrophe depends on PP2A‐B55α activity, suggesting a novel therapeutic target for overcoming chemotherapy ...

Simultaneous Aurora-A/STK15 overexpression and centrosome amplification induce chromosomal instability in tumour cells with a MIN phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: Genetic instability is a hallmark of tumours and preneoplastic lesions. The predominant form of genome instability in human cancer is chromosome instability (CIN).
