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…

Cadoret Lab – The nucleolar protein GNL3 prevents resection of stalled replication forks

The Cadoret Lab contributed to the publication of a new article in EMBO reports: The nucleolar protein GNL3 prevents resection of stalled replication forks   Abstract: Faithful DNA replication requires specific proteins that protect replication forks and so prevent the formation of DNA lesions that may damage the genome. Identification of new proteins involved in this process is…
