Bridging condensins mediate compaction of mitotic chromosomes
Eukaryotic chromosomes compact during mitosis into elongated cylinders—and not the
spherical globules expected of selfattracting long flexible polymers. This process is mainly …

Interphase chromosomes of the Aedes aegypti mosquito are liquid crystalline and can sense mechanical cues
Within the nucleus, the genome of eukaryotes folds into partially organized three-
dimensional structures specific to the cell type and phase of life. While the physical …

During mitosis, near-spherical chromosomes reconfigure into rod-like structures to ensure
their accurate segregation to daughter cells. We explore here, the interplay between the …
