Microtubule occupancy at kinetochores links checkpoint silencing with mitotic memory

The paper links SAC silencing with mitotic memory through microtubule occupancy at kinetochores, showing that high occupancy enables timely silencing and prevents mitotic stopwatch-induced proliferation block.

The Chromosome Periphery is an Essential Compartment of Oocyte Chromosomes

This study investigates the role of the chromosome periphery in oocyte meiosis, showing its impact on chromosome structure and meiotic progression in human and mouse oocytes.

CLASP1 is essential for neonatal lung function and survival in mice

This study shows that CLASP1 is critical for neonatal lung function and survival in mice by regulating microtubule dynamics and lung development.
