Congrats on the preprint! 🍾🍾🍾

Mitosis has a timing system. If chromosomes attach properly, cells divide on schedule and keep proliferating. If attachment is slow or incomplete, the delay is recorded — and daughter cells stop dividing.
We explore this link in our new preprint.

We encounter some bureaucratic problems importing our fish...Does anybody have a transgenic zebrafish line that marks the basement membrane/ECM in the UK? Would need to mark optic cup and final eye for our purposes. And/or an ras-GFP/RFP line? Thanks for looking and reposting!

Scientists have gotten good at blocking enzymes to treat disease. Now can they speed them up? - News Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have d...

For decades, scientists have designed drugs to slow down or block enzymes, but Tarun Kapoor wondered if tackling some diseases requires the opposite approach.

We spoke with Kapoor about why speeding up an enzyme is so difficult, and how his team is cracking this problem.
