Microtubules (MT) and actin microfilaments are dynamic cytoskeleton components involved
in a range of intracellular processes. MTs play a role in cell division, beating of cilia and …

Kinesins are essential for the proper function of many types of polar cells, including
epithelial cells, neurons, and sperm. Spermatogenesis is closely associated with many …

Nuclear movement within a cell occurs in a variety of eukaryotic organisms including yeasts
and filamentous fungi. Fungal molecular genetic studies identified the minus-end-directed …

The fungal cell wall building processes are the ultimate determinants of hyphal shape. In
Neurospora crassa the main cell wall components, β-1, 3-glucan and chitin, are synthesized …

Filamentous fungi have proven to be a better-suited model system than unicellular yeasts in
analyses of cellular processes such as polarized growth, exocytosis, endocytosis, and …

Background Oligospermia is one of the most common reasons for male infertility which is
troubling numerous couples of child-bearing age. This investigation scrutinizes the …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that colonises the skin as well as
genital and intestinal mucosa of most healthy individuals. The ability of C. albicans to switch …

Fungal cells are quite unique among life in their organization and structure, and yet
implementation of many tools recently developed for fluorescence imaging in animal …

Abstract γ-Tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRC) mediate nucleation and anchorage of
microtubules (MTs) to microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs). In fungi, the spindle pole …

Kinesins are essential motor molecules of the microtubule cytoskeleton. All eukaryotic
organisms have several genes encoding kinesin proteins, which are necessary for various …
