A golden Zagreb morning before work

And now… part two of our twin papers on how chromosomes find their place before division! Led by @krunovuk.bsky.social at @institutrb.bsky.social, out in @natcomms.nature.com!

Two back-to-back stories on mitosis led by my incredible postdoc @krunovuk.bsky.social at @institutrb.bsky.social, in which we challenge the gliding model of CENP-E-driven chromosome congression! Today in @natcomms.nature.com

🔬For 22 years, we have been organizing #Mifobio "Functional Microscopy for Biology" the @cnrs.fr thematic school.

🎓 Courses, Seminars, Round Tables, Workshops. The overall theme concerns #biological_imaging in its most interdisciplinary aspects.

Delighted to share our latest work showing how cells that evade #senescence after CDK4/6 inhibition are primed to become aneuploid because of their increased size (due to defects in cohesion and the mitotic checkpoint). Great work by fab PhD student Aanchal Pareri 👏🧪

Amazing energy at our second Swiss-Croatian Bilateral Project meeting with @labmeraldi.bsky.social and Pavin Group in Srebreno near Dubrovnik! The labs teamed up instantly, with lots of brainstorming and cool ideas for new joint projects! #HRZZ @snsf-ch.bsky.social
🇭🇷🇨🇭

Great memories from the joint meeting with the Meraldi Lab and Pavin Group last year in Split! Can't wait for this year's meeting, which starts tomorrow! Excited for more cool science through our Swiss-Croatian Bilateral Project #HRZZ @snsf-ch.bsky.social 🇭🇷🇨🇭

Perfect for PhD students and postdocs! www.atoutcom.com/shaping-life...

Happy first day of spring from our Institute @institutrb.bsky.social!

Join us for this small, intensive workshop in the remote Alpine town of Arolla, where we will explore the dynamics of living systems across scales, from the cytoskeleton to embryos. Let’s dive into how cellular and tissue-scale dynamics shape life itself! meetings.ls2.ch/arolla2025

🚀Ever wondered if there's a universal rule of spindle scaling across eukaryotes? Turns out, there is! Our study reveals an evolutionarily conserved principle driven by a surprising factor: chromosome crowding. 🧵👇
