Journal ArticleDOI
Cell motility by labile association of molecules. The nature of mitotic spindle fibers and their role in chromosome movement.
Shinya Inoué,Hidemi Sato +1 more
TL;DR: This article summarizes the current views on the dynamic structure of the mitotic spindle and its relation to mitotic chromosome movements based on measurements of birefringence of spindle fibers in living cells, normally developing or experimentally modified by various physical and chemical agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Centrioles and the formation of rudimentary cilia by fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells
TL;DR: Cells from a variety of sources, principally differentiating fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells from neonatal chicken and mammalian tissues and from organ cultures of chicken duodenum, were used as materials for an electron microscopic study on the formation of rudimentary cilia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force Generation by Microtubule Assembly/Disassembly in Mitosis and Related Movements
Shinya Inoué,Edward D. Salmon +1 more
TL;DR: The dynamic nature of the filaments (microtubules) that make up the labile fibers of the mitotic spindle and asters are reviewed and how such assembling and disassembly of polymer filaments can generate forces that are utilized by the living cell in mitosis and related movements is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microtubules in the spermatids of the domestic fowl.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the helix is the agent which effects nuclear elongation and that the subsequent system of paraxial tubules determines the curvature of the final sperm head.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microtubule depolymerization promotes particle and chromosome movement in vitro.
TL;DR: It is concluded that microtubule depolymerization provided the free energy for the motions observed, and this force is large enough to contribute to some forms of motility in living cells.

TL;DR: It has been proved that these represent goblet cells in different stages of intracellular synthesis of mucous granules and there is a suggestion that the Golgi vacuoles and the γ-cytomembranes are involved in the formation of mucus.

The Structure of the Mammalian Spermatozoon
TL;DR: The postnuclear cap and cytoplasmic sheath often described in the literature are not found in electron micrographs and apparently do not exist, and a distinct apical acrosome is lacking in the human sperm.
