Happy to share our work in @embojournal 👉 shorturl.at/zXNyn For decades, we’ve known cells dismantle & rebuild the nuclear envelope in sync with spindle poles. But why does this coordination matter? And how do pole material properties ensure error-free division? Follow this thread to know more 👇

Congratulations, Otger @campaslab.bsky.social !! Wishing you another great seven years!
We did it! 🎉 🍾🥂 Our Excellence Cluster Physics of Life (PoL) got renewed until 2032! I am so proud of our team and all the great work we did to achieve this.
Very happy to finally meet my famous namesake, flamenco guitar virtuoso, Grisha Goryachev @Grisha_Goryachev (YouTube) after his unforgettable concert in Edinburgh last night. Come back again, Grisha!
I'm so pleased the final version of this research is published! We found that epithelial cells neighoring the cytokinetic furrow regulate the speed and sucess of cell division, while maintaining barrier function and cell packing geometry. Many thanks to the co-authors who contributed! 🐸 #xenopus
Neighbor cells restrain furrowing during Xenopus epithelial cytokinesis
Xenopus epithelial cells mechanosensitively reinforce connections to neighbor cells during cytokinesis. Here, Landino et al. show that actomyosin arrays assembled in neighbor cells restrain cytokineti...

Rho GTPase dynamics distinguish between models of cortical excitability
Cortical excitability is the ability of the cell cortex to generate pulses and waves of Rho GTPase activity. Using live-cell imaging and theoretical modeling, Chomchai, Leda et al. show that cortical ...

Balancing limited resources in actin network competition
In cells, multiple actin networks coexist in a dynamic manner. These networks compete for a common pool of actin monomers and actin-binding proteins. …
