Divvying up chromosomes
(Benedict Campbell/Wellcome Images) Mitosis, or the separation of chromosomes during cell division, is driven by dynamic interactions between the kinetochore region on chromosomes and string-like structures called microtubules. A number of proteins, including the enzyme Cdk1, regulate these interactions, but it is unclear what kinetochore components such enzymes work… Read MoreDec 16, 2011
