How do cells faithfully segregate chromosomes within an optimal time? Using naturally “super-resolved” kinetochores, the authors show that maximal microtubule occupancy prevents bad mitotic memories t...

The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) promotes mitotic fidelity by delaying anaphase until all kinetochores are stably attached to spindle microtubules. SAC silencing is increasingly recognised as a d...

Creating accurate graphs and performing statistical analyses can be challenging for those who lack coding experience. This Community Page introduces grafify online, a free, browser-based app for generating publication-quality graphs and performing statistical tests and post-hoc comparisons.

Microtubules are essential cytoskeleton polymers composed of α/β-tubulin heterodimers that play a central role in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell division, cell shape, cel...

Abstract. During land colonisation, plants evolved new microtubule structures that have no functional analogues in opisthokonts, namely animals and fungi.

Singh et al. combine cryo-electron microscopy and functional studies to reveal how a single protein complex selects diverse mRNAs for subcellular localization using a combination of shape, positional ...

During mitosis, properly aligned chromosomes stabilise microtubule ends with the help of kinetochores to ensure timely segregation of chromosomes. Microtubule-binding components of the human outer kin...

Spatially regulated membrane constriction is an important milestone in reconstituting minimal cell division. Here the authors engineer a truncated system where the cytosolic domain of FtsN forms large...
