This study shows vimentin enhances nuclear deformation in polarized cells by linking to nesprin-3 and transmitting forces through the nuclear envelope.

The paper shows that early cytokinesis drives cytoskeletal reorganization in zebrafish Kupffer's vesicle, enabling lumen formation and detachment from the enveloping layer.

The paper uses optogenetic perturbation and electron microscopy to show structural diversity in zebrafish left-right organizer cilia and their role in morphogenesis.

The paper shows dynamic forces from tissue movements shape the Kupffers vesicle in zebrafish embryos, confirmed by modeling and laser ablation experiments.

This study shows that specific mitotic events drive cytoskeletal remodeling necessary for Left-Right Organizer development in zebrafish.

This study shows FMRP prevents chromosome fragility by reducing R-loop formation and identifies novel FXS-susceptible genes.
