Microtubule choreography: Spindle self-organization during cell division

A Sridhara, Y Shimamoto - Biophysical Reviews, 2024 - Springer
During cell division, the network of microtubules undergoes massive rearrangement to self-
organize into the spindle, a bipolar structure essential for accurate chromosome …

HURP facilitates spindle assembly by stabilizing microtubules and working synergistically with TPX2

VA Valdez, M Ma, B Gouveia, R Zhang… - Nature communications, 2024 - nature.com
In vertebrate spindles, most microtubules are formed via branching microtubule nucleation,
whereby microtubules nucleate along the side of pre-existing microtubules. Hepatoma up …

Dynein-driven self-organization of microtubules: An entropy-and network-based analysis

N Frolov, B Bijnens, D Ruiz-Reynés, L Gelens - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2024 - Elsevier
Microtubules self-organize to form part of the cellular cytoskeleton. They give cells their
shape and play a crucial role in cell division and intracellular transport. Strikingly …
