... tumours respond to the anti-mitotic drugs – which target the mitotic spindle (the structure that separates the chromosomes during cell division) – and revealed that the variation in cell behaviour ...
... in cell growth; inhibiting it leads to abnormal mitotic spindles – the structures that separate the chromosomes into daughter ... by inhibiting a key regulator of mitosis. They act on the mitotic spindle in a completely different manner compared ...
... are separated to opposite sides of the cell by the mitotic spindle. The spindle then directs the assembly of a contractile ring, which forms a belt around the cell ...
