🚨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? 🤔

So thrilled to share my first paper as a first author. In these in vitro reconstitutions we observe how purified #spindle #proteins interact with #microtubules using #TIRF #microscopy 🔬👩🏻‍🔬
Grateful to those magic brains of the @surreylab.bsky.social for all the support along the way! 🫂
New: Colombo et al. @surreylab.bsky.social show that NuMA is a mitotic dynein adaptor that binds and caps microtubule minus ends, explaining how dynein, NuMA, dynactin, and Lis1 focus microtubule minus ends at mitotic spindle poles https://buff.ly/41aj9F9
