Great dinner with current and former members of the lab, as well as current and former Duke members and friends of the lab. Great to catch up with @ceriweber.bsky.social ,Ben, @woonyunghur.bsky.social and share stories. Great @socdevbio.bsky.social meeting!

Our paper, led by @argo-mkhrji.bsky.social and @woonyunghur.bsky.social, on cortical migration of nuclei in drosophila embryos came out today in @naturephysics.bsky.social. Argo wrote a comprehensive thread below. A great collaboration with Massimo Vergassola and @streichan.bsky.social.
1/n Wanted to share this latest piece of work that came online today on how Scale-independent and Topological interactions govern the spindle orientation and in turn the decision to become embryonic/yolk nuclei.

Topological interactions drive the first fate decision in the Drosophila embryo
Nature Physics - Early positioning of the embryo nuclei is not well understood. Now, experiments show that the orientation of the mitotic spindle is controlled by topological interactions, which...

Congratulations!! Another beautiful piece of work as usual ;)
Yitong's paper is now out in Current Biology. In this paper, we investigated what sets the speed of chromosome separation in anaphase and found that it is mainly set by the dynamics of the cell cycle oscillator. This was a fun collaboration with @brugueslab.bsky.social

The cell cycle oscillator and spindle length set the speed of chromosome separation in Drosophila embryos
Xu et al. investigate how the speed of chromosome separation is regulated during the cleavage divisions of the Drosophila blastoderm. They find that spindle length and the cell cycle oscillator jointly control the velocity of chromosome movement in anaphase.
