The paper compares microtubule dynamics in C. elegans embryos using fluorescent labels and finds high variability, with spindle assembly robustness despite dynamic changes and potential issues with tagged end-binding proteins.

This study shows that Greatwall kinase coordinates meiotic divisions by regulating PP2A-B55, which controls APC/C and Mos/MAPK pathways in Xenopus oocytes.

This study identifies DNA replication as a critical vulnerability in tardigrades under genotoxic stress, showing that damage to dividing gut cells leads to midgut failure and death.

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

The paper identifies PIE-1 and POS-1 as germ fate determinants that protect P2 germ precursor cells from cytokinesis failure by reducing septin and anillin levels at the division plane.
