A simple idea for how paclitaxel achieves tumour selectivity: It is better retained inside dense tissue, allowing tumour levels to stay high even after it has cleared the healthy cells. A model that requires testing, but could be used to improve treatments if correct www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very excited to post our latest work showing the mitotic stopwatch monitors more than just mitotic delays - it protects against whole genome doubling and cell enlargement. Great work by fantastic postdocs Lindsey and Reece (& student Maria) #PostdocAppreciationWeek www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Excited to share our lab’s latest preprint! We identify DDIAS as a novel single-stranded DNA-binding component of the TOPBP1–CIP2A complex, which acts in a mitotic DNA damage response pathway to protect chromosome integrity. Short summary below, and read it here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🧬🧪 A research technician position - Protein Biochemistry (6 months) is available in my lab @gdsc-sussex.bsky.social investigating structure and function of fusion kinase complexes in Leukaemia. 📅 Deadline: 29th September 2025. 🙏 Please share with anyone who might be interested.

New work from the lab! 🔬 We report that DDIAS is a new component of the mitotic CIP2A-TOPBP1 pathway of genome maintenance. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share our new @NatureComms paper! We developed C-604, a selective inhibitor of Greatwall kinase, and discovered that cancer cells' sensitivity to it depends on a simple ratio: B55α/Greatwall expression levels. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now online in Cancer Discovery @aacrjournals.bsky.social: Integrative Proteogenomics & Forward Genetics Reveals a Novel Mitotic Vulnerability in TNBC - by Nicholas Neill, Shankha Satpathy, Trey Westbrook and colleagues doi.org/10.1158/2159... @bcmfromthelabs.bsky.social @broadinstitute.org

Are you curious about what PLK1 kinase is up to these days? Have a look at our latest review on @cp-trendscellbio.bsky.social. Arianna Esposito Verza, @andrea-musacchio.bsky.social and I discuss the latest findings on a very important enzyme that is still full of surprises, 35+ years from discovery!

I'm excited to share our work on the regulation of endomitosis in worm intestines: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We find that cells are able to uncouple nuclear division from cell division by transcriptional repression of key cytokinesis regulators

Check out our new paper by postdoc Debasish Paul, out now in @Nature.com. Cells need a boost of energy to jumpstart the cell cycle, but how can this happen while the APC/C is inhibiting glycolysis? We found cells solve this paradox through a highly dynamic mechanism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our latest work on cell cycle inhibitors, which has implications for how cancer cells could become resistant to these drugs #senescence #cellcycle #cancer 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great article that make some very important points

Delighted to share our latest work showing how cells that evade #senescence after CDK4/6 inhibition are primed to become aneuploid because of their increased size (due to defects in cohesion and the mitotic checkpoint). Great work by fab PhD student Aanchal Pareri 👏🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm happy to share our study “Proximity-based activation of AURORA A by MPS1 potentiates error correction” now published at @currentbiology.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... It describes a new way kinetochores and centrosomes communicate to ensure accurate chromosome segregation.

Excited to share our latest preprint introducing BromoCatch - our cool new Tag solution for protein self-labeling inside cell. This should be a useful addition to the current arsenal of tools eg Halo, Snap. Link to the paper to catch your attention! => www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
