Extremely happy to see this wonderful story out! 🔬 Here, we describe how Ki-67 anchors chromatin to nucleoli, leading them to acquire irregular shapes!!! 🫧🧬 This great story was led by Daja Schichler & Yuki Hayashi from the Cuylen Lab @embl.org link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Why do nucleoli adopt irregular shapes despite their liquid-like nature? Sara Cuylen-Häring and colleagues find that Ki-67 mediates this irregularity by tethering chromatin at the surface and creating internal chromatin invaginations link.springer.com/article/10.1...

High-content screening of organoids reveals the mechanisms of human pancreas acinar specification
High-content screening of organoids reveals the mechanisms of human pancreas acinar specification
Keshara et al. conducted a high-content screen on pancreas organoids that identified 54 compounds affecting differentiation or morphogenesis. After validating 11 compounds, they focus on Gsk3A/B inhibitors, which, combined with FGF withdrawal, drive acinar cell differentiation, enabling future studies on these cells and their role in cancer initiation in humans.
