Lipid Droplet‐Localized Spindle Apparatus Coiled‐Coil Protein 1 Regulates Lipid Droplet Distribution [PDF]
Lipid droplets (LDs) are central to cellular energy homeostasis and lipid metabolism. While LD‐associated proteins are known to regulate LD dynamics and function, their roles in LD transport and their broader cellular significance remain poorly ...

Plasmodium berghei Kinesin-5 Associates With the Spindle Apparatus During Cell Division and Is Important for Efficient Production of Infectious Sporozoites [PDF]
Kinesin-5 motors play essential roles in spindle apparatus assembly during cell division, by generating forces to establish and maintain the spindle bipolarity essential for proper chromosome segregation.

Phase transition of spindle-associated protein regulate spindle apparatus assembly. [PDF]
Spindle assembly required during mitosis depends on microtubule polymerization. We demonstrate that the evolutionarily conserved low-complexity protein, BuGZ, undergoes phase transition or coacervation to promote assembly of both spindles and their associated components.

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

Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP2 Controls Spindle Formation via HSC70‐Mediated Stabilization of CLTC During Oocyte meiosis [PDF]
As a major component of the cytoskeleton, intermediate filaments are generally considered to play a supporting role in mitotic cells. They also take part in the regulation of cell motility, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Anti-Mitotic Spindle Apparatus Antoantibodies: Prevalence and Disease Association in Chinese Population. [PDF]
BackgroundMitotic spindle apparatus (MSA) antibodies are rare findings with undefined clinical significance in clinical research. We aimed at investigating the prevalence and clinical significance of anti‐MSA antibodies in Chinese population.MethodsBetween 2008 and 2013, a total of 180,180 patients were studied for the presence of anti‐MSA antibodies ...

Uncommon patterns of antinuclear antibodies recognizing mitotic spindle apparatus antigens and clinical associations. [PDF]
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are key biomarkers in the evaluation of rheumatic diseases. The prevalence and clinical significance of uncommon or rare patterns, particularly those directed at the mitotic spindle apparatus (MSA), are not well understood. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of anti-MSA patterns in a Colombian ...

Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP1 Maintains Oocyte Asymmetric Division by Modulating Spindle Length [PDF]
The cytoskeleton is composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments in cells. While the functions of microtubules and microfilaments have been well elucidated, the roles of intermediate filaments and associated proteins remain ...
