@katecavanaugh.bsky.socialOut today in @jcb.org! Work from the Mogessie, Fachinetti & Redemann labs reveals how CENP-A/B/C cooperate to maintain kinetochore function in oocytes and how declining centromere strength predisposes aging eggs to aneuploidy. doi.org/10.1083/jcb.... @health.pew.org @valleefoundation.bsky.social
Show PostThese cilia in the developing quail neural tube may not be the prettiest #FluorescenceFriday image, but they’re 100% real! 🔬 No AI-generated structures, no artistic reconstruction, just real biology captured under the microscope by Murron Carroll during her Honours project in the lab. 😉
Show PostExcited to share my first preprint from my PhD work in the Bement lab 🥳 💝 We discovered a previously unrecognized function of the RhoGAP RGA-3/4: RGA-3/4 directly and cooperatively binds to F-actin and reorganizes it by crosslinking actin filaments www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show Post🤩😍🤩 Check out this beautiful cover image and amazing research from former Jane Coffin Childs Fellow Dr. Kate Cavanaugh 👇 Congrats @katecavanaugh.bsky.social!
Show PostHow do epithelial cells make a lumen as they polarize? We have some exciting new answers to this long standing question. Check out our new paper in which we show that lumen initiation is driven by large vacuoles that deliver a pre-assembled apical cortex to the AMIS: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
