The centrosome and mitotic spindle apparatus in cancer and senescence [PDF]
Altered cell division is associated with overproliferation and tumorigenesis, however, mitotic aberrations can also trigger antiproliferative responses leading to postmitotic cell cycle exit. Here, we focus on the role of the centrosome and in particular of centrosomal TACC (transforming acidic coiled coil) proteins in tumorigenesis and cellular ...

Length-dependent anisotropic scaling of spindle shape [PDF]
Spindle length varies dramatically across species and during early development to segregate chromosomes optimally. Both intrinsic factors, such as regulatory molecules, and extrinsic factors, such as cytoplasmic volume, determine spindle length scaling ...

Bub3p facilitates spindle checkpoint silencing in fission yeast [PDF]
Although critical for spindle checkpoint signaling, the role kinetochores play in anaphase promoting complex (APC) inhibition remains unclear. Here we show that spindle checkpoint proteins are severely depleted from unattached kinetochores in fission ...

The spindle matrix protein, Chromator, is a novel tubulin binding protein that can interact with both microtubules and free tubulin. [PDF]
The chromodomain protein, Chromator, is localized to chromosomes during interphase; however, during cell division together with other nuclear proteins Chromator redistributes to form a macro molecular spindle matrix complex that embeds the microtubule ...

Suppression of period doubling chetter in high-speed milling by spindle speed variation [PDF]
Spindle speed variation is a well known technique to suppress regenerative machine tool vibra- tions, but it is usually considered to be effective only for low spindle speeds.

A newly conceived cylinder measuring machine and methods that eliminate the spindle errors [PDF]
Advanced manufacturing processes require improving dimensional metrology applications to reach a nanometric accuracy level. Such measurements may be carried out using conventional highly accurate roundness measuring machines.

Disjunction of conjoined twins: Cdk1, Cdh1 and separation of centrosomes
Accurate transmission of chromosomes from parent to progeny cell requires assembly of a bipolar spindle. Centrosomes (spindle pole body in yeast) are critical for the biogenesis of this complex mitotic apparatus since they confer bipolarity on the ...
