Summary of research articles

A force balance model for a cell size-dependent meiotic nuclear oscillation in fission yeast

This paper describes a model for the horsetail movement, a microtubule-dependent nuclear oscillation in fission yeast meiosis. We showed that the model considering microtubule pulling and pushing forces recapitulates the robust oscillation.

Endfoot regeneration restricts radial glial state and prevents translocation into the outer subventricular zone in early mammalian brain development

This paper reported a new property of the neural stem cell, raial glia, in the mammalian brain development.

Reconstruction of Par-dependent polarity in apolar cells reveals a dynamic process of cortical polarization
