Lacrymaria olor eats a Halteria in real-time. One of my favorite clips to show the complexity of the single-cells…

This graphic helps me wrap my head around the magnitude of the problem. Notice the amount of current biomass for wild mammals (in green) versus that for livestock and humans. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

.@SanaShrividya, Rajeevan & @Sachin_mitosis demonstrate that the mutually exclusive localization of NuMA & Ect2/Cyk4/Mklp1 ensures dynein/dynactin & RhoA localize at distinct membrane zones to coordinate chromosome separation w/ cleavage furrow formation bit.ly/3e9ewFU
