Happy to see our work on how Aurora A kinase orchestrates nuclear organization by regulating the material properties of spindle pole–localized NuMA at mitotic exit featured on the cover. Grateful to the students for creating this beautiful image!
In ISSUE 23
Highligh: IL-26 - no guts, no glory
Review: initiating autophagy by selective receptors
Method: 3D-SPARK for spatial mapping of DNA synthesis
Resource: senotypes across aging human and mouse tissues

New Aurora A kinase role in maintaining proper nuclear shape organization at mitotic exit:
NuMA inhibition causes its dynamic-to-solid material-state transition, leading to bending of segregated mitotic chromosomes

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?

The cover of @jcb.org's July issue (rupress.org/jcb/issue/22...) shows a confocal timelapse imaging of #Celegans one-cell embryo expressing fluorescently labeled plasma membrane, microtubules, chromosomes, and ZEN-4, a plus-end directed kinesin motor protein (Adhikary et al. doi.org/10.1083/jcb....)
