Summary: In vitro reconstitution experiments reveal that the tail domain of the kinesin-12 POK2 interacts with microtubules, MAP65-3 and lipids as a possible mechanism for division site deposition and...

Precise force measurements are crucial for understanding fundamental physics or nanoscale interactions, such as those of molecular machines in biology. Optical tweezers are versatile force transducer...

Genome maintenance and stability rely on the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Breaks can be repaired via the single-strand-annealing pathway med...
