Sentence examples for spindle sizes from inspiring English sources

Embryogenesis of the frog Xenopus laevis typifies the developmental scaling problem, and both cell and spindle sizes have been measured (Wuhr et al., 2008).

In vivo spindle size can vary significantly within the different sized cells at a single developmental stage.

These results provide insight into how the spindle size is maintained at metaphase.

These data suggest a quantitative model for the micromechanics of this cytoskeletal architecture and provide insight into how structural and functional stability is maintained in the face of forces, such as those that control spindle size and position, and can result from deformations associated with chromosome movement.

Metaphase was also used to measure spindle size and orientation (Fig. 1).

In contrast, the spindle length in TPX2 depleted oocytes expressing YFP-TPX2ΔN reached 36±5 µm, which corresponds to a classical meiosis I spindle size [8].

In some rsw4 meiocytes, the spindle was broader and more diffuse than typically found in wild-type meiocytes and spindle size at metaphase II was more variable than in the wild type (Fig. 4M).

Based on this analysis, we argued that models in which Cdc20 is inhibited at the kinetochore itself are inconsistent with the relevant spatial (spindle size) and temporal (cell-cycle timing) constraints.

In TPX2-depleted oocytes, the expression of TPX2ΔN, lacking the N-terminal 118 amino acids, is sufficient to restore both spindle size and the morphology of chromosomes (Figs 5B, 5D and 7A).

Statistical analysis of the data confirmed a highly significant reduction in the spindle size (degrees of freedom [DF] = 63; P = 5×10−4) and a significant increase in the lengths of cilia (DF = 147; P = 3×10−3; Figure 4E).

Representative images of decreased spindle size in fixed hemisected embryos.
