Minc Lab – Cytoplasm mechanics and cellular organization

The Minc Lab recently published a new article in Cell Dynamics: Cytoplasm mechanics and cellular organization   Abstract: As cells organize spatially or divide, they translocate many micron-scale organelles in their cytoplasm. These include endomembrane vesicles, nuclei, microtubule asters, mitotic spindles, or chromosomes. Organelle motion is powered by cytoskeleton forces but is opposed by viscoelastic forces imparted by the surrounding…

Konstantinides Lab – Evolution of patterning

The Konstantinides Lab published a new article in The FEBS Journal : Evolution of patterning   Abstract: Developing tissues are patterned in space and time; this enables them to differentiate their cell types and form complex structures to support different body plans. Although space and time are two independent entities, there are many examples of spatial patterns that…
