Pintard Lab: Cortical microtubule pulling forces contribute to the union of the parental genomes in the Caenorhabditis elegans zygote

Home publis, News25 March 2022
The Pintard Team has just published a new paper in eLife : Cortical microtubule pulling forces contribute to the union of the parental genomes in the Caenorhabditis elegans zygote   Abstract Previously, we reported that the Polo-like kinase PLK-1 phosphorylates the single Caenorhabditis elegans lamin (LMN-1) to trigger lamina depolymerization during mitosis. We showed that this event is required to form…
