Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

This important study reveals that mitotic release of an ER-microtubule tether is critical for normal mitotic progression. Manipulating CLIMP63 phosphorylation, the authors provide convincing evidence ...

Mitosis is the complex process in which duplicated chromosomes are condensed, segregated with the help of the mitotic spindle, and packaged in to daughter cell nuclei. Mitosis occurs in five stages: ...
