🚨New paper out @pnas.org!

Do you want to know how do mitotic motors organize the spindle? Wei Xiang's simulations show that just a plus & a minus motor are enough to drive bipolar spindle assembly. Could this explain why kinesin-5 & dynein evolved their unique properties? 🤔

During cell division in animal cells, a bipolar spindle assembles to segregate the chromosomes. Various motor proteins with different properties ar...

We're on a roll!🚀
Check our latest research @naturecomms.bsky.social: rdcu.be/ecXzr
We reveal how mosaic MTs faithfully mimic the GTP cap, highlighting lattice expansion (not pf twist) as the structural cornerstone of MT stability and dynamic instability.

Congrats to Juan and everybody involved! 🎉

Also, huge congrats to Sabina @bilirubina.bsky.social for not only publishing her work in JCB but also successfully defending her PhD thesis last Friday! 🎉 We're so proud of all you've accomplished over the past few years and excited to see what amazing things you will do next, Dr. Sabina! 🥳
Se acabó! I finally got a #PhD 🎓🥂
4 years of tears & anxiety mixed with euphoria, the most genuine laughs & precious friendships. Fabulously chaotic.
Thanks to all those big little #proteins, inside my body and inside the #microscopy chambers 🧪🔬✨

Fresh off the press! 🔬
Our team's new publication in the JCB sheds light on the intricate dance of spindle proteins and microtubules! 🕺💃Sabina (@bilirubina.bsky.social) demonstrates that NuMA acts as a mitotic dynein adaptor, binding and capping minus ends to focus them at mitotic spindle poles!
