Augmin: a protein complex required for centrosome-independent microtubule generation within the spindle
- G. Goshima, Mirjam Mayer, N. Zhang, N. Stuurman, R. Vale
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 5 May 2008
Since the discovery of γ-tubulin, attention has focused on its involvement as a microtubule nucleator at the centrosome. However, mislocalization of γ-tubulin away from the centrosome does not… Expand
Anisotropies in cortical tension reveal the physical basis of polarizing cortical flows

Asymmetric cell divisions are essential for the development of multicellular organisms. To proceed, they require an initially symmetric cell to polarize. In Caenorhabditis elegans zygotes,… Expand
Muscle Cells Provide Instructions for Planarian Regeneration

PAR-4/LKB1 Mobilizes Nonmuscle Myosin through Anillin to Regulate C. elegans Embryonic Polarization and Cytokinesis
- N. Chartier, D. P. S. Ospina, +4 authors J. Labbé
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 22 February 2011
BACKGROUND
The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 regulates cell growth and polarity in metazoans, and loss of LKB1 function is implicated in the development of some epithelial cancers. Despite its… Expand
Biophysics of Cell Developmental Processes: A Lasercutter's Perspective
- Mirjam Mayer, G. Salbreux, S. Grill
- Biology
- 2012
Mechanics play an important role in many processes in cell and developmental biology. Forces and tension are generated within single cells and ensembles of cells within living organisms, and they… Expand
