Researchers warned that even small amounts of the spindle poison could halt mitosis by severing the microtubule fibers that attach to chromosome centromeres.

The physiologist examined the muscle spindle to understand how the body's reflexes respond to sudden stretching.

The spindle-shanked dancer moved across the stage with surprising grace.

The neurologist pointed out a prominent sleep spindle on the EEG recording during stage 2 sleep.

During the sleep study, clinicians noted that higher memory retention correlated with a greater number of sleep spindles.

The researcher carefully stained a spindle neuron to trace its single apical axon and single dendrite.

The pathologist noted a spindle cell pattern in the tumor, prompting additional immunohistochemical studies.

Under the microscope, the researcher observed mitotic spindles aligning the chromosomes during cell division.

The pathologist noted that the tumor contained numerous spindle cells, suggesting a sarcomatous origin.

Recent studies suggest that spindle neurons contribute to rapid social decision-making in primates.
