Cell Division: Kinetochores SKAdaddle

Accurate chromosome segregation during cell division requires that kinetochores couple microtubule dynamics to chromosome movement. New research reveals that the kinetochore-associated Ska1 complex hangs on to depolymerizing microtubules and brings some important friends along for the ride.
