Article Synopsis
- * Research involving laser-cutting of k-fibres in HeLa and PtK1 cells indicates that these bridging fibres stabilize interkinetochore tension by connecting sister k-fibres and contain proteins like PRC1 and EB3, indicating they are formed by dynamic antiparallel microtubules.
- * A theoretical model, supported by experimental results, reveals that the thickness of the bridging fibre impacts forces at both the pole and kineto
Spatially confined and precise time delivery of neuroactive molecules is an important issue in neurophysiology. In this work we developed a technique for delivering chemical stimuli to cultured neurons consisting in encapsulating the molecules of interest in liposomes. These vectors were then loaded in reservoirs consisting of glass capillaries.
