Happy to share our work in @embojournal 👉 shorturl.at/zXNyn
For decades, we’ve known cells dismantle & rebuild the nuclear envelope in sync with spindle poles. But why does this coordination matter? And how do pole material properties ensure error-free division?

I'm so pleased the final version of this research is published! We found that epithelial cells neighoring the cytokinetic furrow regulate the speed and sucess of cell division, while maintaining barrier function and cell packing geometry. Many thanks to the co-authors who contributed! 🐸 #xenopus

Neighbor cells restrain furrowing during Xenopus epithelial cytokinesis

Xenopus epithelial cells mechanosensitively reinforce connections to neighbor cells during cytokinesis. Here, Landino et al. show that actomyosin arrays assembled in neighbor cells restrain cytokineti...

Finally out in @currentbiology.bsky.social Congratulations, Dom, with the first first-author paper!
www.cell.com/current-biol...

Rho GTPase dynamics distinguish between models of cortical excitability

Cortical excitability is the ability of the cell cortex to generate pulses and waves of Rho GTPase activity. Using live-cell imaging and theoretical modeling, Chomchai, Leda et al. show that cortical ...
