This study shows anillin directly crosslinks microtubules and actin filaments, promoting bundling and sliding, and suggests its role in regulating microtubule-actin crosstalk during cell division.

The paper develops a high-speed microscopy setup to study GUV formation in cDICE, revealing size-selective crossing at the oil-water interface and the effect of proteins on GUV formation.

This paper demonstrates that bacterial microtubules can be expressed in a cell-free system and used to deform lipid vesicles, offering a new tool for synthetic cell biology.

The paper investigates the phosphorylation-dependent Ska-Ndc80 interaction and its role in microtubule tracking and force-coupling during chromosome segregation.
