The centrosome is the principal microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of animal cells. Accurate centrosome duplication is fundamental for genome integrity and entails the formation of one procentriole next to each existing centriole, once per cell cycle. Th ...
Spindle positioning and spindle elongation are critical for proper cell division. In human cells, an evolutionary conserved ternary complex (NuMA/LGN/Gαi) anchors dynein at the cortex during metaphase, thus ensuring correct spindle positioning. Whether thi ...
Tracking algorithms are traditionally based on either a variational approach or a Bayesian one. In the variational case, a cost function is established between two consecutive frames and minimized by standard optimization algorithms. In the Bayesian case, ...

Activation of mitosis-promoting factor (MPF) drives mitotic commitment. In human cells active MPF appears first on centrosomes. We show that local activation of MPF on the equivalent organelle of fission yeast, the spindle pole body (SPB), promotes Polo ki ...
Correct positioning of the spindle governs placement of the cytokinesis furrow and thus plays a crucial role in the partitioning of fate determinants and the disposition of daughter cells in a tissue. Converging evidence indicates that spindle positioning ...

BACKGROUND: It is unknown how oscillations in Cdk1 activity drive the dramatic changes in chromosome and spindle dynamics that occur at the metaphase/anaphase transition. RESULTS: We show that the Schizosaccharomyces pombe monopolin complex has distinct fu ...
The centrosome is an organelle that resides at the center of most animal cells and comprises two microtubule-based centriole cylinders surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). The centrosome plays a fundamental role for nucleating and organizing a radi ...
Sirtuins comprise a unique class of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))-dependent deacetylases that target multiple protein substrates to execute diverse biological functions. These enzymes are key regulators of clinically important cellular and org ...
