Bridging the resolution-sectioning gap in stimulated emission depletion microscopy: theory and experiment

M. Belsley, J. Soares-de-Oliveira, A. J. Pereira

This study develops and validates a bivortex-based STED microscope that improves axial-lateral resolution and signal-to-background compared to conventional STED methods.

The LINC complex ensures accurate centrosome positioning during prophase

J. T. Lima, A. J. Pereira, J. G. Ferreira

The paper shows that the LINC complex mediates dynein loading on the nuclear envelope to regulate centrosome positioning during prophase.

Kinetochore-mediated microtubule assembly and Augmin-dependent amplification drive k-fiber maturation in mammals

A. C. Almeida, J. Oliveira, D. Drpic, L. Cheeseman, J. Damas, H. A. Lewin, D. Larkin, P. Aguiar, A. J. Pereira, H. Maiato

The paper investigates k-fiber maturation in mammals, revealing that Augmin promotes microtubule formation and amplification from kinetochores, essential for spindle assembly.

Microtubule tyrosination/detyrosination specifies a mitotic error code

L. T. Ferreira, B. Orr, G. Rajendraprasad, A. J. Pereira, C. Lemos, J. T. Lima, C. Guasch Boldu, J. G. Ferreira, M. Barisic, H. Maiato

The paper shows that microtubule tyrosination/detyrosination regulates mitotic error correction by modulating MCAK activity, acting as a mitotic error code.
