Led by Dr. Nitya Ramkumar (@nityram), @dukemedicine scientists generated a toolkit to visualize and quantify signaling in entire cell populations of the periderm, the outermost layer of the #epidermis, in live developing zebrafish. @PNASNews 🔗 bit.ly/4bu3Nio

New research in @APA_Journals from Prof. @KakkarH and Ph.D. candidate @asherjdm shows a specific personality type more likely to share #fakenews dukefuqua.com/3CHM3Ot

I'm very excited that the work I did as an undergraduate intern three years ago (wow, time flies...) now contributed to a publication! Thanks to @lab_baum and @nityram for making my first real research experience such a great time!
Check out our latest work led by @nityram on the role of Aurora B kinase in actin clearance at cell poles during mitotic exit. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ embopress.org/doi/full/10.15… @emboreports

Hot off the press! Excited to share my postdoc work with @BaumBuzz where we identify a novel function of Aurora B in aiding DNA-mediated polar relaxation during cell division. Thanks to all the co-authors and lab members @lab_baum

Truly saddened to hear this. She was an amazing scientist and will be dearly missed. Deepest condolences to her family, friends and trainees @eaton_lab
We are at a loss of words. May she rest in peace. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues. Let us remember SUZANNE as the phenomenal thinker, mother and human being she was... mpi-cbg.de/news-events/lates…
Happy to share my publication which explores the cross talk between centrosomal actin and MT during mitosis. Special thanks to our wonderful collaborators @tomwaring5 @zech_lab @ManuelTHERY @Lblanchoin emboj.embopress.org/content/…
Excited to announce our publication related to centrosomal Actin/MT crosstalk during mitosis, identifying a role for WASH and Arp2/3 complex. A fantastic collaborative effort led by @BaumBuzz @nityram @FraFARINA23. @Lblanchoin @ManuelTHERY @TomWaring5 emboj.embopress.org/content/…

Can centrosomes function as actin nucleators during #mitosis? If so, how will centrosomal #actin affect #microtubule network during #mitoticexit. Our recent research explores this pertinent question. emboj.embopress.org/content/…
New publication in @embojournal for the Baum Lab reveals that centrosomes function as both #actin and #microtubule organising centres during #mitosis, suggesting an antagonistic cross talk between the two filament systems. emboj.embopress.org/content/… @The_MRC @BBSRC @CR_UK @ucl_slms
