Force-transducing molecular ensembles at growing microtubule tips control mitotic spindle size

2024-02-02

Abstract excerpt

Mitotic spindle is a complex bipolar cellular structure that ensures chromosomes segregation between dividing cells. Correct spindle size is required for the accurate segregation and successful passing of genomes to the newly formed cells. The spindle size is believed to be controlled by mechanical forces generated by molecular motors and non-motor proteins acting in the spindle microtubule overlaps. However, how...
