Athena will be hanging out with us this summer learning microscopy and zebrafish development! Can’t wait for her to image microtubule and actin dynamics during KV development!

New Paper Alert!

by Heidi Hehnly in


Check out our new paper in Development! Titled: Specific mitotic events drive left-right organizer development.

We also did a fun interview with development titled: The people behind the papers- Yan Wu, Yiling Lan and Heidi Hehnly.

And a fun highlight of the paper can be found titled: Mitotic events help distinguish left from right.

Congrats to all the lab and everyone involved!
