Our paper, led by @argo-mkhrji.bsky.social and @woonyunghur.bsky.social, on cortical migration of nuclei in drosophila embryos came out today in @naturephysics.bsky.social. Argo wrote a comprehensive thread below. A great collaboration with Massimo Vergassola and @streichan.bsky.social.

Great new paper on spatiotemporal organization of cell division in zebrafish embryos. The mitotic waves preceding the ZGA are phase waves set by differences in N/C ratio, driven by geometry-induced asymmetric divisions. Important new insights and very interesting addition to the field.

What an awesome paper from Olga showing how in zebrafish the scaling of anaphase movements is controlled by cytoplasmic flows! Love to see a new role for cytoplasmic flows ;) and excited to learn that scaling of anaphase is controlled so differently in fly and fish embryos.

Yitong's paper is now out in Current Biology. In this paper, we investigated what sets the speed of chromosome separation in anaphase and found that it is mainly set by the dynamics of the cell cycle oscillator. This was a fun collaboration with @brugueslab.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biol...
