When cells in different phases fuse, nuclei play a mitotic tug-of-war Olga Afonso, Daniel Feliciano and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz investigate the fate of syncytia containing nuclei at different cell cycle stages. Highlight: journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

Our recent paper on CCAN organization was just out in @ScienceAdvances. We combined MD simulation with expansion microscopy to observe an interesting structure in the kinetochore. Congrats, @yj_sakai, Mariko, and @yasuhhirano17 !! Please check it out. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

CCAN forms the spherical shell-like structure in interphase kinetochores

The kinetochore is an essential structure for the faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis. The 16-protein complex known as the constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) localizes the...

That’s a wrap for FASEB Aneuploidy 2026! Thanks to all the attendees for making it a special meeting. The science was so out-of-this-world that NASA even launched a spaceship for us. 🚀 See you again in 2029! #ANESRC

How are mitotic chromosomes built? 🏗️ Our Review @TrendsGenetics revisits the classical chromosome scaffold model and connects it to condensins, topoIIα, and physical forces. We propose interphase chromatin domains as “building blocks”🧩of chromosomes: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nmwr…

Excited to share our new @ScienceAdvances paper! During interphase, centromeres form 3D shells organized by the CENP-A chaperone complex at their core. Led by Hindol Gupta, with the @TakashiAkeraLab , Losada, and Shroff labs. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

The CENP-A chaperone complex spatially organizes centromeres

Centromeres, defined by CENP-A–containing nucleosomes, direct kinetochore assembly for spindle attachment. In mitosis, CENP-A and the constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) of the inner...

🎉 Excited to share the first preprint from the Panday Lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… We identify FANCM as an adaptive genome-maintenance dependency in BRCA1-deficient breast cancer and uncover its role in restraining ongoing structural genome evolution.

FANCM restrains structural genome evolution and defines a synthetic lethal dependency in BRCA1-de...

BRCA1 -deficient cancers experience persistent replication stress and structural genome instability yet retain the capacity for sustained proliferation, implying reliance on compensatory genome-mai...

How did we come to understand cancer in the light of evolutionary theory? Nothing makes sense if not with population genetics! In our latest @NatureRevCancer review we unpack how population genetics theory applied to somatic cells allows us to measure and predict cancer evolution from molecular data. Computational modelling in oncology has gone a long way but we need to go much further. The frontier is combining evolutionary theory with machine learning. Link below👇
