A few months earlier, @NFerrandiz with help from Laura and George reported chromosome ensheathing during mitosis. #CellBiology #PaperToot

This paper had a wonderful spotlight article by Donker & Godinho. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202204114 and was picked as one of @JCellBiol 's papers of 2022 https://rupress.org/jcb/collection/21549/The-Year-in-Cell-Biology-2022

We have several new papers brewing for 2023 - stay tuned. Happy holidays.

In 2022, our lab published two papers that we'd like to highlight. First, in July Cansu, with some help from Méghane, Gabrielle and Miguel described "MitoPits". These are clathrin-coated pits that are induced to form on mitochondria! Weirder than that, they can bud to form vesicles...
