This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The mitotic spindle of L strain fibroblasts, fixed with glutaraldehyde followed by osmium tetroxide, contains many 150- to 180-A tubules. They ...

Eukaryotes assemble a microtubule-based spindle apparatus that separates chromosomes into daughter cells during cell division. Although studies of how spindle microtubules capture kinetochores of ...

Cell division is essential to the propagation of life. During cell division, mitotic spindles segregate duplicated chromosomes with high fidelity. Spindle structure depends on the proper polar ...

(Nanowerk News) From the intricate patterns of pollen grains to the logarithmic spirals of nautilus shells, biology is full of complex patterns, shapes, and geometries. Many of these intricate ...

A new study describes how spheres can be transformed into twisted spindles thanks to insights from 16th century navigational tools. Researchers show how polymers can contract into spiral structures, ...
