The localisation of the mitotic spindle orientation protein, NuMA, is highly dynamic and sensitive to tissue stretch. Frogs are also great for live imaging 🐸 Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

@LabWoolner had such a fun time at the UoM Community Festival talking about Frogs, Maths and Microscopes.

Congratulations @emmaljohns on passing your viva yesterday! Thanks to @integrintraffic and @AlexGFletcher for acting as examiners. In addition to being an amazing interdisciplinary scientist, Dr Johns is also a fabulous potter, check out the family of frogs she made for us 🐸🐸🐸

Celebrating the successful viva of Dr Johnston with beautifully decorated frog cookies! Well done Mark 🐸 – at Manchester, England

Interested in work by the Woolner Lab? Go talk to @emmaljohns (POSTER 96) and @DionnHargreaves at #EESMechanical 🐸 #xenopus #epithelia #mechanicalloading #celldivision

Lovely to see #xenopus represented by Naoto Ueno from #NIBB on the second day of #EESMechanical @EMBLEvents

Beautiful video data presented by Keynote speaker Thomas Lecuit @lecuitlab. Great start to #EESMechanical @EMBLEvents

Happy International Women's Day from the Woolner Lab! #IWD2019 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #EqualityInScience #BalanceforBetter – at Manchester, England

Our paper on the mechanical regulation of cell division in stretched tissue has just been published in Cell Reports: Decoupling the Roles of Cell Shape and Mechanical Stress in Orienting and Cueing Epithelial Mitosis sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
