In plants, both microtubule-associated proteins (MAPS) and viral movement proteins (MPs) interact with microtubules. Recently, a unique plant structural MAP has been cloned, which may have a ...

The microtubule-associated protein XMAP215 promotes microtubule growth, but how this occurs has been unclear. To address this question, Gary Brouhard et al. developed a single-molecule ...

Problems in kinetochore-microtubule attachment and chromosome segregation can lead to aneuploidy, which is associated with birth defects and cancer progression. Kinetochore capture by spindle ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.
