Researchers have for the first time directly observed the “molecular motor”, called Xkid, that plays a critical role in facilitating the proper alignment of chromosomes during cell division. The study ...

Eukaryotes assemble a microtubule-based spindle apparatus that separates chromosomes into daughter cells during cell division. Although studies of how spindle microtubules capture kinetochores of ...
