Cell biology: Ran, mitosis and the cancer connection (2006)
Journal Article
Sanderson, H. S., & Clarke, P. R. (2006). Cell biology: Ran, mitosis and the cancer connection. Current Biology, 16(12), PR466-R468. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2006.05.032

The small GTPase Ran has been shown to regulate HURP, a protein that interacts with several mitotic spindle assembly factors. This discovery sheds new light on the role of Ran in the fidelity of mitosis and in cancer. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights... Read More about Cell biology: Ran, mitosis and the cancer connection.

High resolution analysis of mammalian nuclear structure throughout the cell cycle: Implications for nuclear pore complex assembly during interphase and mitosis (2006)
Journal Article
Drummond, S. P., Rutherford, S. A., Sanderson, H. S., & Allen, T. D. (2006). High resolution analysis of mammalian nuclear structure throughout the cell cycle: Implications for nuclear pore complex assembly during interphase and mitosis. Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 84(3-4), 423-430. https://doi.org/10.1139/y05-148

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the gateways for both active and passive bidirectional molecular transport between the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm. These mega-dalton assemblies are composed of multiple copies of approximately 30 distinct proteins ter...
