Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web ...

The development of fluorescence microscopy technologies has made live-cell imaging routine for the current generation of cell biologists. However, the ability to visualize the cell's architecture was ...

Every biology class learns about mitosis, which involves copying each of a cell's DNA-containing chromosomes, then separating them into two newly created cells. The act of chromosome separation is ...

Near-simultaneous three-dimensional fluorescence/differential interference contrast microscopy was used to follow the behavior of microtubules and chromosomes in ...

The mitotic spindle is the molecular machine that distributes the chromosomes to the two daughter cells. By developing techniques to look at the behaviour of individual microtubules within the spindle ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Irradiation of the mitotic spindle in living Nephrotoma suturalis (Loew) spermatocytes with an ultraviolet microbeam of controlled dose ...

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.

Every high school biology class learns about the tiny cells that comprise our bodies, as well as about many of the diverse actions that they perform. One of these actions is called mitosis, the series ...
