This volume includes a series ofprotocols focused on mitotic spindle assembly and function. The methods coveredin this book feature a broad range of techniques from basic microscopy to thestudy of spindle physiologies relevant to cancer. These methods can be appliedto diverse model systems that range from the cell-free Xenopus eggextract system to the moss Physcomitrella patens, in an effort todemonstrate the key contributions made by researchers using multiple modelorganisms. Chapters in The Mitotic Spindle: Methods and Protocols integrate cutting-edge technologies that have only become available due to thecross-disciplinary efforts, such as ATP analogue sensitive inhibition ofmitotic kinases. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biologyseries format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics,lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readilyreproducible laboratory protocols, and tips ontroubleshooting and avoidingknown pitfalls.

Thorough and informative, TheMitotic Spindle: Methods and Protocols, is a valuable resource forresearchers who are new to mitosis or are already experts in the field.
