Yang et al. show that #Celegans CKS-1 is required, with CDK-1, for #anaphase B during #oocyte #meiosis I; promotes anaphase onset through securin & #cyclin B1 destruction in meiosis I & II, respectively; and acts positively with both securin and cyclin B3 in meiosis II. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Spotlight: Moghareh, Bojorquez, and Lara-Gonzalez highlight work from Yang et al. (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) showing that CKS-1 plays key roles in both #anaphase B during #oocyte #meiosis I and the #metaphase II–to–anaphase II transition. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #CellDivision #Development

Our study on the mitotic stopwatch has been published. We demonstrate that USP28 interacts with 53BP1 to stabilize p53 and show that cancer cells frequently harbor mutations that impair stopwatch assembly, thereby suppressing the mitotic stress response. rdcu.be/eTPU2

New in @natcomms.nature.com, OIST researchers describe how cancer cells lose their sense of time to evade stress responses – revealing new insights that could shape anti-cancer treatments. www.oist.jp/news-center/... Or read the full paper at www.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-66341-3

Swing by my poster today #ASCBiology #CellBio2025 and learn about embryonic development in C.elegans!

The last @odlab.bsky.social poster is today! Go see @nehavarshney.bsky.social about worm embryo development gone wrong 😱

Today's the day! If you're at #CellBio2025, come visit my poster to learn more about Aurora B and cytokinesis. Afterwards, check out the posters from the other OD lab members attending the conference 🥳

Now out on bioRxiv. 🥳My research on #cytokinesis, averaging thousands of #ExM images🔬, creating a dynamic atlas of cytokinesis 🦠⏳. Here's an animated sneak peek of what we found. Better resolution on bioRxiv😄 #PSFoftheGIF


1/6 Extremely happy to share my PhD work is out on bioRxiv! We discovered that microtubules deform mitotic centrosomes. When we removed them, the SPD-5 scaffold became denser but didn't lose material. This suggests it's an elastically deformable solid! This only happens in mitosis.

I am honored to be selected as a winner of a 2025 MBoC Early-Career Paper Award for my recent work on the role of kinetochores in establishing neuronal architecture. Thank you to my supervisor @dcheerambathur.bsky.social and co-authors! @ascbiology.bsky.social www.molbiolcell.org/doi/full/10....

Our recent study exploring the mechanisms behind hybrid incompatibility in Caenorhabditis Elegans nematodes is now available at @currentbiology.bsky.social! Many thanks to my collaborators at UCSD - @odlab.bsky.social @greenbeegreen.bsky.social and the Rifkin Lab! www.cell.com/current-biol...

How do species remain distinct? Our recent collaboration with the Rifkin Lab discovered a new hybrid incompatibility between Caenorhabditis species that results in defects in the first cell division, like irregular spindles! We show how subtle changes in cell biology can reinforce species barriers.

Today at #Worm25 come visit me at posters 262C/263C for a cytokinesis double feature!

New preprint! Grad student Clover Stubbert and undergrad Cherry Soe worked out a serum-free media that sustains eggshell-less C. elegans embryos all the way through development, now making it possible to access any embryonic developmental stage with small molecules www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
