@ivatolic.bsky.socialMany thanks to Jing Xie and Dani Fachinetti for their interest in our work and for this beautiful News & Views!
@ivatolic.bsky.socialVery happy to see our work highlighted by @natcellbio.nature.com. A great team effort and a fascinating example of how a simple physical principle can connect mitosis across eukaryotes! @lgudlin.bsky.social, @krunovuk.bsky.social, @kopslab.bsky.social
@ivatolic.bsky.socialBig thanks to the team: Mihaela Jagrić, Patrik Risteski, Jelena Martinčić & Ana Milas! 🙌 elifesciences.org/articles/61170
@ivatolic.bsky.socialOptogenetics was our "remote control": light ON pulled the protein PRC1 off the mitotic spindle mid-division, light OFF brought it back. Without PRC1, the spindle changed shape and chromosomes struggled to line up.
@ivatolic.bsky.socialCongrats to Deisseroth, Hegemann & Nagel on the #NobelPrize for optogenetics! Here's how we used this cool tool to study cell division.
