I found these immune cells just finished mitosis but their midbody is still yet to be resolved. How cool? If you zoom in to the midbody, you can see its classical shape just like in the textbooks. I love these little details.

Excited to share our newest work! We asked whether RNA molecules need to be in a specific place in the cell to do their job. We found that a single RNA must reach the midbody, the structure that pinches two dividing cells apart, for cell division to finish efficiently. 🧵⬇️

Here’s a sneak peek at two of the amazing topics that will be presented - Ahna Skop’s 'Tactile Mitosis' project to create more inclusive, multi-sensory learning tools, and Janet Iwasa’s software that allows users to create molecular visualizations!

We show that all sizes of EVs are released during the cell cycle particularly translating RNA-enriched MBRs.
