Spindle Assembly in Animal Cells
Abstract
▪ Abstract Chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis is driven by a complex superstructure called the spindle. Microtubules are the primary structural component of spindles, and spindle assembly and function are intimately linked to the intrinsic dynamics of microtubules. This review summarizes spindle structure and highlights recent findings regarding the mechanisms and molecules involved in organizing microtubules into spindles. In addition, mechanisms for chromosome movement and segregation are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
