This study shows mammalian metaphase kinetochores are elastic and require condensin for structural stability and microtubule attachment under force.

This paper introduces a computational pipeline to quantify kinetochore morphology in live cells, showing it better captures shape changes than traditional metrics.

This study shows that mechanical force causes local damage and remodeling of spindle microtubules, leading to stabilization under force.

This study identifies a biophysical mechanism for mitochondrial pearling, showing it occurs spontaneously in various cell types and is driven by internal pressure or external tension.

This study shows SKAP reduces friction at the kinetochore-microtubule interface and enhances attachment stability under force through its microtubule binding.
