The paper investigates spindle positioning in ascidian embryos, showing that cortical pulling and cytoplasmic dynein forces act sequentially to generate mirror symmetric and unequal divisions.

The paper compares microtubule dynamics in C. elegans embryos using fluorescent labels and finds high variability, with spindle assembly robustness despite dynamic changes and potential issues with tagged end-binding proteins.

This study describes the embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata, showing it follows a canonical pattern with temperature-dependent developmental rates.

The paper investigates how cortical and cytoplasmic forces coordinate to achieve planar cleavage in ascidian embryos.

The paper investigates the role of the midbody remnant from the first polar body (PB1) in directing the precise site of the second polar body (PB2) emission during meiosis II in ascidian eggs.
