Centrioles are conserved microtubule-based organelles that form the core of the centrosome
and act as templates for the formation of cilia and flagella. Centrioles have important roles in …

Kinesins are a family of molecular motors that travel unidirectionally along microtubule
tracks to fulfil their many roles in intracellular transport or cell division. Over the past few …

Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex lung disease characterized by
scarring of the lung that is believed to result from an atypical response to injury of the …

The microtubule-based spindle orchestrates chromosome segregation during cell division.
Following more than a century of study, many components and pathways contributing to …

Mitosis is controlled by reversible protein phosphorylation involving specific kinases and
phosphatases. A handful of major mitotic protein kinases, such as the cyclin B–CDK1 …

Eg5, the product of Kif11 gene, also known as kinesin spindle protein, is a motor protein
involved in the proper establishment of a bipolar mitotic spindle. Eg5 is one of the 45 …

Chromosome segregation during cell division requires a bipolar mitotic spindle. Therefore,
how the spindle is formed, maintained, and functions is of fundamental importance for all …

Abstract Background Kinesin superfamily (KIFs) has a long-reported significant influence on
the initiation, development, and progress of breast cancer. However, the prognostic value of …

Mitotic spindles are self-organizing protein machines that harness teams of multiple force
generators to drive chromosome segregation. Kinesins are key members of these force …

Accurate segregation of chromosomes during cell division is accomplished through the
assembly of a bipolar microtubule-based structure called the mitotic spindle. Work over the …
