Abstract: The spindle relies on forces exerted by microtubules and motor proteins to align and segregate chromosomes. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Takagi et al. (2019) show that meiotic spindle microtubules respond differently to forces at… read more here.

Abstract: Microtubules (MTs), polymers of alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimers, are involved in crucial functions in eukaryotic cells. MTs physiology can be influenced by a variety of post-translational modifications (PTMs), including tyrosination, detyrosination, delta 2 modification, acetylation, polyglutamylation, polyglycylation.… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Meiosis produces haploid gametes by accurately reducing chromosome ploidy through one round of DNA replication and two subsequent rounds of chromosome segregation and cell division. The cell divisions of female meiosis are highly asymmetric… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/2096-2924.281854
Abstract: Objective: The meiotic spindle controls chromosome movement and mediates various functions essential for fertilization and early postfertilization events. This study aimed to examine whether vitrification causes meiotic damage in vitro- matured metaphase II (MII) human… read more here.
