Constant overlap: Scientists identify molecular machinery that maintains important feature of the spindle
During cell division, microtubules emanating from each of the spindle poles meet and overlap in the spindle's mid zone. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, have uncovered ...
