Dumont Lab – Synergistic stabilization of microtubules by BUB-1, HCP-1 and CLS-2 controls microtubule pausing and meiotic spindle assembly

Home publis, News20 February 2023
The Dumont team has just published a new paper in eLife: Synergistic stabilization of microtubules by BUB-1, HCP-1 and CLS-2 controls microtubule pausing and meiotic spindle assembly   Abstract During cell division, chromosome segregation is orchestrated by a microtubule-based spindle. Interaction between spindle microtubules and kinetochores is central to the bi-orientation of chromosomes. Initially dynamic to allow…
