    Cdk1-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...
