@weber-lab.bsky.socialExcited to share that the third chapter of my dissertation is now on bioRxiv! We found that the LINC complex acts as a brake to gate nucleolar assembly in C. elegans embryos. Grateful to Gant, Dan, Steph, and all our co-authors for making this work possible. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
