Mary Elting @mwelting @EltingLab laser ablated spindles and nuclear envelopes in the yeast S. pombe, which has closed mitosis, and showed that the spindle can shape the nuclear envelope. The spindle and the nuclear envelope are a mechanical pair whose properties are well matched.

An elegant and compelling dispatch by Mary Elting @EltingLab highlighting the role of the augmin complex for the construction of mitotic spindle bridging fibers, which support accurate chromosome segregation. Thank you! @CurrentBiology @CellPressNews cell.com/current-biology/ful…
Mitosis: Augmin-based bridges keep kinetochores in line

Mitosis: Augmin-based bridges keep kinetochores in line

A recent study highlights the indispensability of the augmin complex for the construction of mitotic spindle bridging fibers, which in turn support accurate chromosome attachment and segregation.

Looking through pond water today for vorticella to image with the @pco_imaging camera and also found this amazing creature. Anyone know what it is? I hear @viboud calls it a “stick worm” but that’s not coming up on Scholar 🤪

Having a lot of fun imaging Spirostomum contraction in high speed at @MBLScience in colab with @BhamlaLab @fredchanglab @mwelting Thanks @pco_imaging and @NikonInst for landing equipment to @MBLPhys! 😍 (Sorry for the quality but concessions had to be made)

Thankful for colleagues who put together this NAS Decadal report articulating the need to recognize biological physics as a major sub-field of physics and the opportunities/challenge we face in research and education. physicsworld.com/a/biologica…

First "decadal survey" into biological physics says further advances can only emerge in the subject with additional investment

Dr. Mary Elting (@EltingLab) has received a 5-year grant from the @NIH for her lab’s research on the mitotic spindle, which is a “machine” that works to segregate cells when they divide. Read more below! physics.sciences.ncsu.edu/20…

Join #vCytoskeletonJC on Thur. 4/30/20, 12PM EST! I am planning to present this classic paper from Svitkina and Borisy bit.ly/SvitkinaVCJC showing that Arp2/3 complex is localized at the Y-branches between actin filaments at the cell leading edge. @EltingLab @parsa_zarei1

NC State is great for undergraduate research! My first week here, I contacted Dr. Mary Elting (@EltingLab) about her work on the mechanics of cell division. Now, I create software that automatically tracks yeast cells as they divide. #ParkTakeoverTuesday #StudentTakeover @NCState
