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!

Check out our new preprint found on bioRxiv titled: Temporal and anteriorly positioned mitotic zones drive asymmetric microtubule patterns needed for Left-Right Organizer development.
This study was a group effort led by postdoc Yan Wu and graduate students Yiling Lan and Favour Ononiwu. We were able to look at #microtubule dynamics in the #zebrafish Left Right Organizer for the first time allowing us to find lots of cool stuff about its development!

A teaser of how cool the MT dynamics are during zebrafish KV development.

The paper is finally up at PLoS Genetics, congrats to everyone involved! You can check out the study titled “Rab8, Rab11, and Rab35 coordinate lumen and cilia formation during zebrafish left-right organizer development” here.
Figure 1 from the study that argues Left-Right Organizer cells start making cilia before they start assembling a lumen! This observations was first found by undergraduate Julie Manikas, who is an author on the study. Check it out!
