New publication in Current Biology for Baum Lab
In her, Chantal Roubinet () has shown聽that the聽nuclear compartment is maintained throughout mitosis in聽Drosophila neural stem cells. Furthermore, the compartment聽is asymmetrically remodeled to generate sibling nuclei that differ in size, envelope composition and chromatin organisation. Importantly, these asymmetries arise prior nuclear import of cell fate determinants, suggesting that asymmetric nuclear division contributes along with the polarity to cell fate acquisition and cell diversity.
