We use feeder-independent ES cell lines derived from the 129/Ola strain of mice (Nichols et al. Development 110 p.1341 1990). These cells are easy to maintain and significantly reduce the amount of ti ...
IntroductionHuman embryonic stem (hES) cells are pluripotent stem cells derived from pre-implantation embryos that can be maintained and expanded in an undifferentiated state or induced to differentia ...

Microtubule spindowns for visual analysis can be performed on single microtubules or microtubules nucleated from axonemes/centrosomes. Although live DIC analysis has largely superseded the use of visu ...
Segmented and polarity-marked microtubules are very useful for many different types of in vitro assays. Segmented microtubules are microtubules with a bright seed and dim elongated segments on both en ...
Negative staining is a rapid qualitative method for analyzing microtubule structure at the EM level. Because negative staining involves deposition of heavy atom stains structural artifacts such as fla ...
