Kinesin-4 KIF21B promotes rapid reorientation of the microtubule network during formation of immunological synapse in T cells by acting as a pausing and catastrophe-inducing factor that keeps microtubules short.

Centriole integrity is ensured by the connection between the inner scaffold and microtubule triplets through POC16/WDR90 proteins.

An electroporation-based method allows the direct delivery of recombinant proteins into mammalian cells for in vivo functional studies.

Cell biological, biochemical, and genetic analyses reveal that PLK4 controls two different phospho-dependent binding interactions that act together to promote procentriole assembly.

The stem cell orientation checkpoint senses the correct orientation of centrosomes via their interactions with a protein called Bazooka.

Female meiotic spindles correct trisomy by expelling extra chromosomes into the first polar body.

Precise control of microtubule architecture greatly increases the force that the spindle can exert on chromosomes.

The mitotic exit network signals from spindle pole bodies to the nucleolus through the dynamic localization of its terminal kinase complex Dbf2-Mob1.

Super-resolution microscopy reveals the nanoscale molecular architecture of 29 protein components of a eukaryotic contractile ring relative to the membrane.

High-resolution optical microscopy is used to reveal the organization of extracellular matrix proteins within the basement membrane of the blood filtration barrier in the kidney at the nanometer scale.
