Impact of Cell Shape on Mitotic Spindle Positioning Forces

J. Xie, J. Najafi, A. Nommick, L. Lederer, J. Salle, S. Dmitrieff, N. MINC

The paper measures how cell shape affects mitotic spindle positioning forces in sea urchin embryos, finding that viscoelastic forces increase with cell elongation.

PAMP-Induced secreted Peptide-Like 6 (PIPL6) functions as an amplifier of plant immune response through RLK7 and WRKY33 module

J. Najafi, R. S. Gjennestad, R. Kissen, T. Brembu, Z. Bartosova, P. Winge, A. M. Bones

This study identifies PIPL6 as a plant immune amplifier that enhances resistance to necrotrophic pathogens via RLK7 and WRKY33 signaling.

Size and position dependent cytoplasm viscoelasticity through hydrodynamic interactions with the cell surface

J. Najafi, S. Dmitrieff, N. Minc

The paper measures cytoplasm viscoelasticity in live sea urchin eggs by moving passive components of varying sizes, finding size- and position-dependent resistance due to hydrodynamic interactions with the cell surface.

Contribution of cytoplasm viscoelastic properties to mitotic spindle positioning

J. Xie, J. Najafi, R. Le Borgne, C. Durieu, J.-M. Verbavatz, J. Salle, N. Minc

This study shows that cytoplasm viscoelastic properties can actively move and reposition mitotic spindles in living cells, independent of cytoskeletal forces.
