First official post! A new paper out about #cytokinesis in #epithelia

www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Explore our journey as we uncover how regulators of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions modulate cytokinesis efficiency, while revealing new roles for the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex.

Very excited that the lab's first paper is out! We showed that in stem cells, Aurora B controls abscission dynamics by regulating microtubules stability and MCAK recruitment. Very happy with this streamlined version of our 2024 preprint.

Aurora B controls microtubule stability to regulate abscission dynamics in stem cells
Mouse embryonic stem cells remain connected by bridges for hours after cell division. In this paper, Kodba et al. show that a high Aurora B activity at the bridge leads to microtubule stabilization. S...

Dynamic duo at the cell's edge: Caveolae and the actin cytoskeleton work together to sense and respond to mechanical stress. Caveolae buffer tension, while actin provides structure and force. Ultimate biomechanics team. #CellBiology #Mechanotransduction

What a sad news. Steve was an outstanding scientist and contributed greatly to midbody and centrosome biology. He was also a great colleague and an accomplished mountaineer. I will miss our scientific discussions and great hikes we did in Colorado.
