Open AccessCdk1-mediated DIAPH1 phosphorylation maintains metaphase cortical tension and inactivates the spindle assembly checkpoint at anaphase
Animal cells undergo rapid rounding during mitosis, ensuring proper chromosome segregation, during which an outward rounding force abruptly increases upon prometaphase entry and is maintained at a constant lev...

Structural Analysis of Long Single-Stranded RNA Molecules with Atomic Force Microscopy Imaging
Characterization of the structure of long RNA molecules (>1 kb) is usually a time-consuming and tedious process. In this study, we have developed an imaging procedure for obtaining images of the extended secon...

Analyses of Nuclear Proteins and Nucleic Acid Structures Using Atomic Force Microscopy
Since the inception of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in 1986, the value of this technology for exploring the structure and biophysical properties of a variety of biological samples has been increasingly recogn...
