| | Needling chromosomes yields insights into cell division |
 | | Her uncanny surgical skills have added a piece to the large and intricate puzzle of how one cell divides into two -- a process fundamental to all organisms. | | | To study chromatid adhesion, Paliulis mastered the high art of manipulating two infinitesimal glass needles to impale each of two sister chromatids in cultured grasshopper cells at the appropriate time in cell division. | | | "First of all the needles are invisible in the cell, so you have to continually move them back and forth to detect their position by how they disturb structures around them. |
