Clustering of cortical dynein regulates the mechanics of spindle orientation in human mitotic cells

M. Anjur-Dietrich, V. G. Hererra, R. Farhadifar, H.-Y. Wu, H. Merta, S. Bahmanyar, M. Shelley, D. Needleman

This study measures forces on human mitotic spindles and shows that cortical dynein clustering determines spindle orientation mechanics.

Self-organized intracellular twisters

S. Dutta, R. Farhadifar, W. Lu, G. kabacaoglu, R. Blackwell, D. B. Stein, M. Lakonishok, V. I. Gelfand, S. Shvartsman, M. Shelley

The paper studies fluid flows in Drosophila oocytes, showing the emergence of cell-spanning vortices through hydrodynamic interactions of microtubules and molecular motors.

Central spindle microtubules are strongly coupled to chromosomes during both anaphase A and anaphase B

C.-H. Yu, S. Redemann, H.-Y. Wu, R. Kiewisz, T. Y. Yoo, R. Farhadifar, T. Muller-Reichert, D. Needleman

The paper measures central spindle microtubule movement during chromosome segregation in human and C. elegans spindles, finding they slide apart at the same speed as chromosomes and are strongly coupled to them.
