Klp61f and ncd function as an accelerator and brake to regulate myonuclear spacing

Jorel R. Padilla, Yunshu Qiu, Gretchen Kimmel…·Eric S. Folker

This study identifies Klp61f and ncd as kinesins that regulate myonuclear spacing through opposing forces during development and in differentiated myofibers.
