The mesh is a network of microtubule connectors that stabilizes individual kinetochore fibers of the mitotic spindle

Kinetochore fibers (K-fibers) of the mitotic spindle are force-generating units that power chromosome movement during mitosis. K-fibers are composed of many microtubules that are held together throughout their length. Here, we show, using 3D electron microscopy, that K-fiber microtubules (MTs) are c...
