The Nuclear Mitotic Apparatus (NuMA) Protein: A Key Player for Nuclear Formation, Spindle Assembly, and Spindle Positioning

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The nuclear mitotic apparatus (NuMA) protein is well conserved in vertebrates, and dynamically changes its subcellular localization from the interphase nucleus to the mitotic/meiotic spindle poles and the mitotic cell cortex.

The evolutionary history of human spindle genes includes back-and-forth gene flow with Neandertals

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Proteins associated with the spindle apparatus, a cytoskeletal structure that ensures the proper segregation of chromosomes during cell division, experienced an unusual number of amino acid substitutions in modern humans after the split from the ...

Modeling and mechanical perturbations reveal how spatially regulated anchorage gives rise to spatially distinct mechanics across the mammalian spindle

open access: yeseLife, 2022
During cell division, the spindle generates force to move chromosomes. In mammals, microtubule bundles called kinetochore-fibers (k-fibers) attach to and segregate chromosomes. To do so, k-fibers must be robustly anchored to the dynamic spindle.

Multiple motors cooperate to establish and maintain acentrosomal spindle bipolarity in C. elegans oocyte meiosis

open access: yeseLife, 2022
While centrosomes organize spindle poles during mitosis, oocyte meiosis can occur in their absence. Spindles in human oocytes frequently fail to maintain bipolarity and consequently undergo chromosome segregation errors, making it important to understand

Scaling Laws for Mitotic Chromosomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
During mitosis in higher eukaryotes, each chromosome condenses into a pair of rod-shaped chromatids. This process is co-regulated by the activity of several gene families, and the underlying biophysics remains poorly understood.

Orderly assembly underpinning built-in asymmetry in the yeast centrosome duplication cycle requires cyclin-dependent kinase

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Asymmetric astral microtubule organization drives the polarized orientation of the S. cerevisiae mitotic spindle and primes the invariant inheritance of the old spindle pole body (SPB, the yeast centrosome) by the bud.

İğsi Hücreli Lipomların Cerrahi Tedavisi Sonrası Klinik Sonuçlar

open access: yesDüzce Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021
Aim: Spindle cell lipoma is a rare tumor. Although located subcutaneously, they are localized in the posterior neck, shoulder, and lumbar regions. It can radiologically mimic liposarcoma. It is important to differentiate spindle cell lipoma from atypical

Multiple Roles of PLK1 in Mitosis and Meiosis

open access: yesCells, 2023
Cells are equipped with a diverse network of signaling and regulatory proteins that function as cell cycle regulators and checkpoint proteins to ensure the proper progression of cell division. A key regulator of cell division is polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1),

C-Type Natriuretic Peptide Pre-Treatment Improves Maturation Rate of Goat Oocytes by Maintaining Transzonal Projections, Spindle Morphology, and Mitochondrial Function

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a peptide molecule naturally found in follicles and can be used to extend meiotic resumption and enhance the potential for oocytes to develop.

CtIP Regulates Mitotic Spindle Assembly by Modulating the TPX2-Aurora A Signaling Axis

open access: yesCells, 2022
CtBP-interacting protein (CtIP) plays a critical role in controlling the homologous recombination-mediated DNA double-stranded break (DSB) repair pathway through DNA end resection, and recent studies suggest that it also plays a role in mitosis. However,
