A new class of microtubules in the spindle exerting forces on kinetochores (NewSpindleForce)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

At the onset of division the cell forms a spindle, a micro-machine made of microtubules, which divide the chromosomes by pulling on kinetochores, protein complexes on the chromosome. The central question in the field is how accurate chromosome segregation results from the interactions between kinetochores, microtubules and the associated proteins. According to the current paradigm, the forces on k ...
