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!


ASCB 2023 in Boston with Yiling Lan and Yan Wu

by Heidi Hehnly in ,


Lan and Yan had a great first visit to ASCB/Cell Bio meeting this year where Lan presented a poster and Yiling a talk and a poster! They both did great, met lots of people, and asked great questions. We also got to hang with old friends (Ana Vertii, Hui-Fang Hung, Shashi Kant, and Benedict Delaval) and eat excellent food! We got to also hang out with Syracuse University Patteson and Castaneda Labs. With Alison Patteson (Physics, SU) giving a great talk in the Vimentin section! Overall it was a great trip and we can’t wait to do it again.
