Cell division is essential to the propagation of life. During cell division, mitotic spindles segregate duplicated chromosomes with high fidelity. Spindle structure depends on the proper polar ...

My current research interests include membrane modeling, membrane-protein interactions, cytoskeletal modeling, and the mechanical basis for mitotic spindle formation. Broader interests include ...

Mitotic spindles are dynamic, self-organizing, intracellular structures that are essential for cell division. Spindles are composed of proteins, cytoskeletal elements and microtubules, which are a key ...

In an article published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology, scientists used a data science approach to study the variations observed between different cells in spindle formation.

They are a major component of the cytoskeleton and mediate crucial cellular functions including formation of the mitotic spindle that segregates chromosomes during cell division and intracellular ...
