This study shows mammalian metaphase kinetochores are elastic and require condensin for structural stability and microtubule attachment under force.

This paper introduces a computational pipeline to quantify kinetochore morphology in live cells, showing it better captures shape changes than traditional metrics.

This study identifies eIF4ET's role in maintaining oocyte proteome stability during long-term storage by forming condensates, with implications for age-related infertility.

The paper shows that long chromosomes experience delayed error correction during mitosis due to increased polar ejection force, which can falsely stabilize incorrect attachments.

This study identifies ZNF692 as a nucleolar scaffold that enhances 40S ribosome maturation and translation efficiency in rapidly proliferating cells, particularly in cancer cells.
