Different translation dynamics of β-and γ-actin regulates cell migration
β-and γ-cytoplasmic actins are ubiquitously expressed in every cell type and are nearly
identical at the amino acid level but play vastly different roles in vivo. Their essential roles in …

Kinetochore-and chromosome-driven transition of microtubules into bundles promotes spindle assembly
Mitotic spindle assembly is crucial for chromosome segregation and relies on bundles of
microtubules that extend from the poles and overlap in the middle. However, how these …
