Reposted by Martin WürtzIva Tolić @ivatolic.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Martin Würtz @wuertzmartin.bsky.social explored augmin-microtubule interactions and showed that stable microtubule anchoring is mediated by the calponin homology domain of HAUS6, which determines the orientation of the augmin complex during microtubule branching. #SpindleCroatia2026 073
