I’m excited, relieved, and honored to announce that my paper describing non-canonical mitotic mechanisms in the early mouse embryo is out in @ScienceMagazine ! (link at end of 🧵)
🚨Our latest work on selfish centromeres published at @CurrentBiology 🐭🧬We found that the spindle checkpoint contributes to non-Mendelian segregation! Huge congrats to my lab manager, Zaak Walton, who led the project🎉 Free link authors.elsevier.com/a/1lQzN3QW8SA3…
Have you ever thought about inflating tissues? Or maybe quickly deflating those inflated tissues? New #EpithelialMechanics pre-print: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… 🧵with pressure control, multiscale buckling, patterned wrinkling
Let's start the week with this movie kindly shared by @loxstoplox. The movie depicts live imaging of an early mouse embryo labeled with Formin-2-GFP and DNA stained with SPY650-DNA during nuclear envelope breakdown. Note the nuclear dilution of Formin-2-GFP immediately before the…
