Like poles support a tent, microtubules—hollow cylindrical structures made of tubulin protein—support eukaryotic cells. But microtubules provide more than just mechanical strength; they help prepare ...

Mitotic cell division, when a cell splits into two identical daughter cells, involves lots of moving parts that must be properly organized for accurate segregation. The main players responsible for ...

Kinetochores connect mitotic-spindle microtubules with chromosomes, allowing microtubule depolymerization to pull chromosomes apart during anaphase while resisting detachment as the microtubule ...

Proteins containing disordered domains perform many important cellular functions. My lab currently has two main projects, one to dissect the role of tubulin's C-terminal tail in microtubule structure ...
