Rashmi's been at the heart of what we do for the last 5+ years — she's led our work on nuclear behaviors. Such a nice defense and huge congrats to her on earning her PhD!! :-)

Interfaces in the embryonic epithelium systematically rotate and their behaviors update with angle, and thus cells can participate in many more intercalations than the two predicted by simple hexagonal geometrties - the above movie shows a cell that interacts with a whopping 10 intercalating cells!

Happy to see this collab with the Loerke lab out in @jcb.org - congrats to Katie, Liam, Dinah, and all coauthors. Read more about "rectifying" interfaces here: doi.org/10.1083/jcb....

#ASCB For those interested in nuclei and/or epithelial remodeling…

Rashmi’s presenting a nice story on nuclear positioning at 1:30 Monday (P2047/B360) and Liam is exploring the impact of cell density 1:30 Tuesday (P2759/B376). See you in SD!
