Cell biology: New cog for a familiar machine
Mary Dasso1
Abstract
During cell division, intricate cellular machinery separates duplicated DNA into daughter cells. Unexpectedly, the assembly of this crucial apparatus seems to rely on components other than proteins and DNA.
When a cell divides, in a process known as mitosis, the duplicated genetic material must be divided and distributed precisely between the two 'daughter' cells. This task is the responsibility of an elaborate structure called the mitotic spindle, which forms during mitosis1.
