Microtubule end stabilisation by cooperative oligomers of Ska and Ndc80 complexes

The paper shows that Ska and Ndc80 complexes form oligomers to stabilize microtubule ends during mitosis, with a mutation disrupting Ska:Ska interactions and impairing stability.

Structural architecture of amyloid-β oligomers, curvilinear protofibrils and annular assemblies, imaged by cryo-EM and cryo-ET

The paper uses cryo-EM and cryo-ET to characterize the structural architecture of Aβ oligomers, curvilinear protofibrils, and annular assemblies, revealing their structural relationships and functional properties.

Microtubule dynamics are defined by conformations and stability of clustered protofilaments

This study shows that microtubule dynamics depend on the conformation and stability of clustered protofilaments, linking GTP hydrolysis to polymerization states.

Molecular determinants of the Ska-Ndc80 interaction and their influence on microtubule tracking and force-coupling

The paper investigates the phosphorylation-dependent Ska-Ndc80 interaction and its role in microtubule tracking and force-coupling during chromosome segregation.
