The movie shows the effect of pressure on the spindle of the Chaetopteris egg. 100 Atm. of pressure induces depolymerization of spindle microtubules leading to the loss of birefringence in this polari...

Metaphase PtK1 cell microinjected with X-rhodamine-labeled tubulin and Alexa 488-labeled CENP-F antibodies to fluorescently label kinetochore fibers (red) and kinetochores/spindle poles (green), respe...

Early embryonic divisions in Drosophila are syncytial. Nuclei undergo mitosis synchronously for the first 14 nuclear cycles, followed by cellularization (Foe and Alberts, 1983). At nuclear cycle 10, n...

This HeLa cell is expressing two fluorescent proteins, including EGFP-CENP-B, a fluorescent protein that marks kinetochores (seen as paired dots oriented parallel to the x-axis and attached to opposit...

Metaphase Kinetochore Dynamics: In this HeLa cell, which is expressing both a kinetochore marker (EGFP-CENP-B) and a centrosome marker (Venus-centrin), one can visualize the dynamic nature of kinetoch...

This movie is of a Drosophila melanogaster early embryo (cycle 12) expressing GFP-tubulin (green) and injected with Rhodamine-labeled histones (red) and 8mg/ml RanT24N, a dominant negative inhibitor o...

This HeLa cell, which is expressing both a kinetochore marker (EGFP-CENP-B) and a centrosome marker (Venus-centrin), has been depleted of the spindle assembly checkpoint protein Mad2. In the absence o...

This is one of 4 grouped time lapse movies (CIL 11958-11962) revealing the responses of a meiotic oocyte spindle to various forms of micromanipulation by a glass microneedle. The needle is inserted, ...

In this HeLa cell, which is expressing both a kinetochore marker (EGFP-CENP-B) and a centrosome marker (Venus-centrin), one can visualize the dynamic nature of kinetochore movements during metaphase a...
