In vitro reactivation of spindle elongation in fission yeast nuc2 mutant cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
To investigate the mechanisms of spindle elongation and chromosome separation in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we have developed an in vitro assay using a temperature-sensitive mutant strain, nuc2.

Kinetochore-independent chromosome segregation driven by lateral microtubule bundles

open access: yeseLife, 2015
During cell division, chromosomes attach to spindle microtubules at sites called kinetochores, and force generated at the kinetochore-microtubule interface is the main driver of chromosome movement.

TRIP13PCH-2 promotes Mad2 localization to unattached kinetochores in the spindle checkpoint response. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The spindle checkpoint acts during cell division to prevent aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer. During checkpoint activation, Mad1 recruits Mad2 to kinetochores to generate a signal that delays anaphase onset.

Self-Organization and Forces in the Mitotic Spindle.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biophysics, 2016
At the onset of division, the cell forms a spindle, a precise self-constructed micromachine composed of microtubules and the associated proteins, which divides the chromosomes between the two nascent daughter cells.

Method for Vibration Response Simulation and Sensor Placement Optimization of a Machine Tool Spindle System with a Bearing Defect

open access: yesSensors, 2012
Bearing defects are one of the most important mechanical sources for vibration and noise generation in machine tool spindles. In this study, an integrated finite element (FE) model is proposed to predict the vibration responses of a spindle bearing ...

A possible influence of the spindle fibre on crossing-over in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 1932
The distribution of genes in the second and third chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster suggests that crossing-over may be influenced by the spindle fibre at least in neighboring regions.

Research on a Power Management System for Thermoelectric Generators to Drive Wireless Sensors on a Spindle Unit

open access: yesSensors, 2014
Thermoelectric energy harvesting is emerging as a promising alternative energy source to drive wireless sensors in mechanical systems. Typically, the waste heat from spindle units in machine tools creates potential for thermoelectric generation. However,

Chatter Control by Spindle Speed Variation in High-Speed Milling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
High-speed milling operations are often limited by regenerative vibrations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of spindle speed variation on machine tool chatter in high-speed milling. The stability analysis of triangular and sinusoidal shape

Mechanical stability of bipolar spindle assembly

open access: yes, 2016
Assembly and stability of mitotic spindle is governed by the interplay of various intra-cellular forces, e.g. the forces generated by motor proteins by sliding overlapping anti-parallel microtubules (MTs) polymerized from the opposite centrosomes, the ...

Contribution of the circadian pacemaker and the sleep homeostat to sleep propensity, sleep structure, electroencephalographic slow waves, and sleep spindle activity in humans

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 1995
The role of the endogenous circadian pacemaker in the timing of the sleep-wake cycle and the regulation of the internal structure of sleep, including REM sleep, EEG slow-wave (0.75–4.5 Hz) and sleep spindle activity (12.75–15.0 Hz) was investigated ...
