<p><strong>· Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) , the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) and the IBMB-CSIC solve a key problem in biology: how human cells build their microtubules</strong></p>
<p><strong>· During cell division, microtubules function as nanometer-thick long ‘ropes' inside cells that pull chromosomes apart so that each daughter cell receives a copy of the genetic material</strong></p>
<p><strong>· The work published in <em>Science </em>lays the groundwork for future breakthroughs in the treatment of diseases ranging from cancer to neurodevelopmental disorders</strong></p>
After only six months from the inauguration of the Joint Electron Microscopy Center at ALBA (JEMCA), this marvel of technology is already feeding published research.
