During mitosis, the microtubule depolymerase KIF2C, the tumor suppressor BRCA2, and the kinase PLK1 contribute to the control of kinetochore-microtubule attachments. Both KIF2C and BRCA2 are phosphorylated by PLK1, and BRCA2 phosphorylated at T207 (BRCA2-pT207) serves as a docking site for PLK1. Reducing this interaction results in unstable microtubule-kinetochore attachments.

- Modern optical bioimaging trends seek innovative nanoproducts that offer both high image contrast and effective treatment capabilities.
- Silicon nanoparticles, created through picosecond laser ablation of porous silicon films and nanowire arrays in water and ethanol, show promise as contrasting agents for imaging techniques like fluorescence and optical coherence tomography.
- These nanoparticles, measuring under 100 nm and exhibiting crystalline phases, demonstrate effective fluorescence and light scattering, paving the way for their application in biophotonics, as evidenced by preliminary optical imaging experiments.
