ASCB 2016 in San Francisco

by Heidi Hehnly in ,

Lindsay Rathbun and Erica Colicino did a great job this year presenting their work at ASCB in San Francisco!  Erica talked about her study on the spatial and temporal regulation of the mitotic kinase Plk1 and Lindsay presented her work on the role of division orientation during 3D expansion and embryonic patterning. 

Lindsay Rathbun presenting her talk titled "The role of division orientation in tissue patterning".  This is a collaborative project between our lab (Hehnly Lab) and the Amack Lab at SUNY Upstate.

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.
