Thrilled to share our lab's first evolutionary cytoskeleton study! We uncover two distinct FtsZ paralogs in Odinarchaeota—OdinFtsZ1 forms curved filaments, while OdinFtsZ2 assembles into spiral rings. A glimpse into tubulin evolution! #Eukaryogenesis#AsgardArchaea#cytoskeleton
High impact, small size.
We welcome papers that address findings from a single set of experiments, or that are substantial enough to stand alone in 1,500 words or fewer.

📢Actin alert 📢
Recent all-atom molecular dynamics simulations from the group of Gregory Voth published in @BiophysJ suggest that actin filaments under force form microcracks, which lead to new binding interfaces for the mechanosensitive proteins from the LIM domain family. I have written a "New and Notable" on this and here is a share link valid until Nov 2: https://t.co/SijRMp731p
Excited to share that my latest research on rejuvenating aged oocytes has just been published in @NatureAging with @SpringerNature! 🌟 Read here:

Great piece of work by @syncellbiolab and @sshekhr
Our paper "Control of cell proliferation by memories of mitosis" is out @ScienceMagazine. We show that cells can detect and memorize defects in mitosis to eliminate potentially damaged cells. @OISTedu@Meitinger@oegemadesai_lab https://t.co/rs4ZWRZbbo
