KIF18A Maintains Kinetochore-Microtubule Attachments in CIN Cells by Limiting Microtubule Polymerization

Cindy L. Fonseca, Kira Fisher, Ethan Wagner, Sarah‐Catherine Paschall, Haein Kim, Jason K. Stumpff

This study identifies KIF18A's role in maintaining kinetochore-microtubule attachments in CIN cells by limiting microtubule polymerization, leading to mitotic defects when inhibited.
