New publication in Nature Communications for de Bruin lab

graph

In order for a cell to proliferate with fidelity, it must cycle through two non-overlapping events - replication of the genomic DNA during S phase and the segregation of the duplicated DNA into two genetically identical daughter cells during M phase. DNA replication is tightly regulated during S-phase. S-phase length is determined by DNA synthesis rate, but what controls or limits the DNA replic

New publication in Current Biology for Baum and Henriques labs

Why try to image live cell divisions in the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus at 75°C? There are several reasons for wanting to do so. First, many cell biological processes previously thought to be unique to eukaryotes are present in a simplified form in TACK archaea (which include the archaeon Sulfolobus) – making this an excellent system in which to study how they work. This includes ESCRT-III and

New publication in Molecular Biology of the Cell for Baum Lab

The ability of cells to divide along their longitudinal axis is thought to play a key role in maintaining epithelial tissue homeostasis. In a new publication in , Lam and colleagues find that in elongated cells, the ability for mitotic spindles to rotate to their correct orientation is dependent o

Taking cells back in time - new publication in eLife for Chubb lab

After damage to tissues, some cells are capable of reverting to a more embryo-like condition.  In this condition, they are then capable of growing to repair the damaged area and making different cell types to make sure the site becomes operational again.  This process of cells "going back in time" is called dedifferentiation but it is not well understood.
