Our latest research in collaboration with @nilssonlab.bsky.social, @andrea-musacchio.bsky.social and Mathieu Bollen reveals a new regulatory strategy employed by cells to control PP1 in mitosis. Check it out in @currentbiology.bsky.social

Polo kinase inhibits protein phosphatase 1 to promote the spindle assembly checkpoint and prevent aneuploidy
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is essential for spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) silencing and mitotic exit, but its regulation during mitosis remains i…

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

🚀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. 🧵👇
