We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos? Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules. Check out the preprint!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very excited to share the first preprint from the lab: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... We investigated neural crest migration all the way from head to tail of the Zebrafish embryo and we found their nuclei suffer dramatic deformations. Want to know of they cope with feeling squeezed? 🐟🐠🐟

#CellBiology: “The centrosome is exposed to mechanical forces and can even break when cells move through narrow or complex environments,” says Renkawitz. #LMU researchers led by Jörg Renkawitz have discovered how these cells protect a sensitive organelle, the centrosome, from being destroyed.

Cell biology: how cells protect their centrosome against mechanical forces

When motile immune cells move through tissue, they are exposed to strong forces. Researchers at LMU have discovered how these cells protect a sensitive organelle, the centrosome, from being destroyed.
