Drosophila EB1 is important for proper assembly, dynamics, and positioning of the mitotic spindle.

The chromokinesin, KLP3A, dives mitotic spindle pole separation during prometaphase and anaphase and facilitates chromatid motility.

Two mitotic kinesins cooperate to drive sister chromatid separation during anaphase.

A Kin I-dependent Pacman-flux mechanism for anaphase A.

Functionally distinct kinesin-13 family members cooperate to regulate microtubule dynamics during interphase.

Spindle microtubules in flux.

Microtubule binding by dynactin is required for microtubule organization but not cargo transport.

Three microtubule severing enzymes contribute to the "Pacman-flux" machinery that moves chromosomes.

Culture of Drosophila S2 cells and their use for RNAi-mediated loss-of-function studies and immunofluorescence microscopy.

A multicomponent assembly pathway contributes to the formation of acentrosomal microtubule arrays in interphase Drosophila cells.

The SCF Slimb ubiquitin ligase regulates Plk4/Sak levels to block centriole reduplication.

Centrosome function: sometimes less is more.

The Drosophila kinesin-13, KLP59D, impacts Pacman- and Flux-based chromosome movement.

Angiogenic factor signaling regulates centrosome duplication in endothelial cells of developing blood vessels.

Spindle assembly: more than just microtubules.

The Protein Phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit Twins stabilizes Plk4 to induce centriole amplification.
