Exciting new publication from Aditya Bandekar
In May, Aditya Bandekar published the fantastic article Axial asymmetry organizes division plane orthogonality in Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Current Biology. It describes the spatiotemporal aspects of gonococcal cell proliferation – highlighting the importance of cell morphology in determining the fidelity of chromosome segregation and cell division. Grad Lab members Samantha Palace, Yi Wang, and Yonatan Grad also contributed.
The paper received the following commentary from Kyung-Tae Park and Thomas Bartlett: Bacterial cell division: Orthogonal rotation is a convergent strategy. Great work, Adi!
