title: Chromosome segregation: Ndc80 can carry the load.
abstract: Dynamic attachments between kinetochores and spindle microtubules are required for chromosome bi-orientation in mitosis. A new study provides biophysical insight into how the Ndc80 complex may contribute to the formation of these attachments.
