Drosophila border cells are beautiful to watch… but far from easy to image. Kudos to the brave and skilled @vitoryang.bsky.social, who took on the challenge of establishing border cell migration imaging in the lab! His movies are astonishing, and now our first-ever study on #cell #migration is out!

Collective #migration requires balancing force and flexibility. @vitoryang.bsky.social, @polarityi3s.bsky.social et al. identify RhoGAP15B as a local brake on RhoA-#myosin contractility in border cells, stabilizing front protrusions and coordinating group movement rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Mitosis has a timing system. If chromosomes attach properly, cells divide on schedule and keep proliferating. If attachment is slow or incomplete, the delay is recorded — and daughter cells stop dividing. We explore this link in our new preprint. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
