microtubules in cells, in vitro, and by cryo-EM @mcgillu @McGill_ACB @CRBSMcGill

I’m thrilled to share my latest research from the @Bechstedtlab at @McGill_ACB! Here we show that the spindle protein CKAP2 is a #microtubule growth factor in cells and contributes to accurate cell division. Out today @PNASNews! https://t.co/0dqjK4kfMT

What happens when you knock out a potent microtubule growth factor like CKAP2? Find out in our new preprint by talented @paim_lia. #microtubules #mitosis
The spindle protein CKAP2 regulates microtubule dynamics and ensures faithful chromosome segregation. https://t.co/ivzzM8uH6U

We caught the last summer day for lab lunch last week. Today's lab meeting discussion revolved around sweatpants and winter coats 🇨🇦.

Incredible science in a stunning location! Shoutout to @paim_lia for doing the lab's heavy lifting- presenting a talk and poster. Thanks to @RKiewisz, Kseniya Ustinova, @IVernos, Silvia Speroni & colleagues for organizing!
Time to say goodbye, with all amazing participants. We will be back in 2025! Thank you to all the sponsors @EMBO @Co_Biologists @CRGenomica @FlatironCCB @SEMC_NYSBC #divide2023

Have you ever wondered how a single mutation can cause disease? In this year's @CRBSMcGill Bench to Bedside Workshop, we will explore how #alphafold can be used in protein structural analysis to better understand human disease. Join us on June 20th at 1pm EST. #structuralbiology

Lia Paim @paim_lia from Susanne Bechstedt’s lab showed that the spindle protein CKAP2 promotes microtubule growth in interphase and mitosis, which may explain severe mis-segregation phenotypes and oncogenic potential of CKAP2 misregulation. #SpindleCroatia2023

Happy to share this beautiful work by Takashi Hotta, and collaborators in the labs of @kjverhey1, @A2DaveSept, Susanne Bechstedt, @nesvilab, and Takumi Higaki! This is a story that was long in the making, and helps us understand how the tubulin code works. https://t.co/kwRoHDBPKY
