Because you can’t fix what you don’t understand, MeitingerOhtaLab's unit studies how dividing cells stay healthy, what happens if those mechanisms fail and searches for new treatment targets to combat #cancer. #NewFacultyOfOIST Franz Meitinger Midori Ohta ⬇️ oist.jp/news-center/ne…

Cells measure time spent in mitosis and relay that information to daughter cells Science Magazine Franz Meitinger Oegema/Desai Labs science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Published today in Science Magazine: UC San Diego biologists have uncovered a quality control timing mechanism tied to cell division. The “stopwatch” function keeps track of mitosis and protects against the formation of cancerous cells. UC San Diego School of Medicine today.ucsd.edu/story/cell-div…

🔬Groundbreaking research by OIST Cell Proliferation and Gene Editing Unit and collaborators show how cells become ultimate protectors against cancer!🧬Did you know cells sense defects by measuring the duration of #mitosis? MeitingerOhtaLab Oegema/Desai Labs ow.ly/Gknt50R4KZk

Our paper "Control of cell proliferation by memories of mitosis" is out Science Magazine. We show that cells can detect and memorize defects in mitosis to eliminate potentially damaged cells. OIST Franz Meitinger Oegema/Desai Labs science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
