We have a new preprint!

👉 We’ve developed a novel method to induce spindle buckling and utilize this deformation to gain insights into their structural integrity.

👉 A little animated illustration on the bent spindles (green) and our model (blue+pink) where we tune the rigidity of the midzone.

is there a direct crosstalk between actin and vimentin intermediate filaments? Our work shows that vimentin promotes actin assembly by stabilizing ATP-subunits at the barbed end.

Towards a unified framework for the function of endoplasmic reticulum exit sites - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) are specialized ER subdomains that regulate the export of secreted cargo.
