Mechanically induced pre-mitotic nuclear deformations promote nuclear rupture through lamin B1 depletion

The paper shows that microtubule-dependent nuclear invaginations cause lamin B1 depletion and nuclear rupture through mechanical stress, aiding mitotic entry.

Time of first contact determines cooperator success in a cross-feeding consortium

The paper shows that the timing of first contact between cooperators determines their success in a microbial cross-feeding consortium.

Extraembryonic endoderm cells induce neuroepithelial tissue in gastruloids

The paper shows that adding XEN cells to mouse gastruloids induces neuroepithelial tissue formation through reciprocal differentiation and WNT signaling inhibition.
