Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Physical Drivers of Chromosome Instability and Inflammatory Responses

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
This article highlights the fibrous morphology of multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a key factor in their genotoxicity. Fibers physically interfere in cell division, generating binucleated cells and micronuclei, both of which are precursors of carcinogenesis.

Overexpression of the human MNB/DYRK1A gene induces formation of multinucleate cells through overduplication of the centrosome

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2003
Background Previously we cloned the human MNB/DYRK1A gene from the "Down syndrome critical region" on chromosome 21. This gene encodes a dual specificity protein kinase that catalyzes its autophosphorylation on serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. But,

Mitotic spindle assembly by two different pathways in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
. We have used Xenopus egg extracts to study spindle morphogenesis in a cell-free system and have identified two pathways of spindle assembly in vitro using methods of fluorescent analogue cytochemistry.

Lysine demethylase 4A: from chromatin to centrosomes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 2, Page 392-395, January 2026.
The lysine demethylase 4A (KDM4A) remodels chromatin by histone demethylation, regulating gene expression. In this issue, Chowdhury et al. report a previously undescribed localisation for KDM4A outside the nucleus, at the pericentriolar material around the centrosome.

Reprogramming within Hours Following Nuclear Transfer into Mouse but not Human Zygotes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Fertilized mouse zygotes can reprogram somatic cells to a pluripotent state. Human zygotes might therefore be useful for producing patient-derived pluripotent stem cells.

Polo‐Like Kinase 1 Phosphorylation Tunes the Functional Viscoelastic Properties of the Centrosome Scaffold

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
To enable mitotic spindle assembly during cell division, centrosomes must bear tensile stresses generated by microtubule‐mediated pulling forces. Micro‐rheology reveals that PLK‐1 phosphorylation of the scaffold protein SPD‐5 tunes the viscoelasticity, size, and morphology of the centrosome scaffold in C. elegans.

A SUMOylation Motif in Aurora-A: Implications in Spindle Dynamics and Oncogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2011
Aurora-A is a serine/threonine kinase that plays critical roles in centrosome maturation, spindle dynamics and chromosome orientation and is frequently found overexpressed in human cancers.

Influence of M-phase chromatin on the anisotropy of microtubule asters [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
In many eukaryotic cells going through M-phase, a bipolar spindle is formed by microtubules nucleated from centrosomes. These microtubules, in addition to being "captured" by kinetochores, may be stabilized by chromatin in two different ways: short-range

Sustained expression of miR-26a promotes chromosomal instability and tumorigenesis through regulation of CHFR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
MicroRNA 26a (miR-26a) reduces cell viability in several cancers, indicating that miR-26a could be used as a therapeutic option in patients. We demonstrate that miR-26a not only inhibits G1-S cell cycle transition and promotes apoptosis, as previously ...
