Yitong's paper is now out in Current Biology. In this paper, we investigated what sets the speed of chromosome separation in anaphase and found that it is mainly set by the dynamics of the cell cycle oscillator. This was a fun collaboration with @brugueslab.bsky.social
www.cell.com/current-biol...

The cell cycle oscillator and spindle length set the speed of chromosome separation in Drosophila embryos

Xu et al. investigate how the speed of chromosome separation is regulated during the cleavage divisions of the Drosophila blastoderm. They find that spindle length and the cell cycle oscillator jointly control the velocity of chromosome movement in anaphase.

🎉 We're excited to share our new research in @nature.com ! We reveal that crocodile head scales self-organize through compressive folding of the skin - a mechanical twist on their development & evolution!
Please read & share 🐊🔬 @genevunige.bsky.social

Self-organized patterning of crocodile head scales by compressive folding - Nature

Crocodile head scales self-organize through purely mechanical compressive skin folding rather than a patterning process controlled by gene interactions.
