The kinetochore, a complex protein machine that assembles on the centromere, forms a localized, high-affinity site for the attachment of spindle microtubules to chromosomes. At least three ...

Microtubules are protein fibers that facilitate the transport of cellular components throughout a cell’s interior. Within a cell, microtubules span from the nucleus to the cell membrane, and the motor ...

Microtubules are composed of a protein called tubulin, which consists of alpha and beta subunits that assemble into large, tube-shaped filaments within the cell. These fibers are dynamic, growing from ...

“Don’t ask,” Sanchez would say. This went on for several months. As part of their experiments, Dogic and Sanchez put microtubules in a watery solution and added a cellular protein called kinesin. The ...

PRC1 (green) crosslinks microtubules and organises compacted microtubule bundles. A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every ...

SignalChem Biotech provides diverse recombinant Tau proteins for research, helping advance tau-targeted therapies that may ...

At the heart of the discovery is the protein PRC1. During cell division, PRC1 plays a key role in organising cell division. It crosslinks microtubules, helping to form a structure in the crucial ...
