Our studied title “ Chromosome misalignment is associated with PLK! activity at cenexin-positive mitotic centrosomes” is now officially published. Check it out here. This project was led by the Hehnly lab’s graduate student Erica Colicino who now is at University of Michigan doing her postdoctoral work with Puck Ohi’s lab. Erin Curtis a postbac scholar in the Hehnly lab and now a graduate student at Duke designed the cover that was selected and made major contributions to the study.
Look at the Beautiful Paper!
The Hehnly Lab recently got to help with a story from Dylan Burnette's laboratory that came out in Scientific Reports. Check it out here. It is filled with beautiful microscopy and looks at the relationship between how a dividing cell communicates with an extracellular matrix, and its affect on cleavage furrow morphology, and spindle orientation.
Congrats Hui-Fang Hung!
Check out Hui-Fang's accepted manuscript in Current Bio titled "The Mother Centriole Appendage Protein Cenexin Modulates Lumen Formation through Spindle Orientation"
Cenexin controls centrosome positioning during cell migration, is required for spindle orientation, lumen formation, and controls the above activities by modulating MT organization and stability
