Zachary Gergely's paper "Kinesin-8 effects on mitotic microtubule dynamics contribute to spindle function in fission yeast" was published online by Molecular Biology of the Cell..
To better understand the role of kinesin-8 proteins in mitosis, we have studied the effects of deletion of the fission-yeast kinesin-8 proteins Klp5 and Klp6 on chromosome movements and spindle length dynamics.

Hui-Shun Kuan's paper "Phase-plane analysis of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with binding kinetics and switching between antiparallel lanes" was posted on the arXiv preprint server today.
Inspired by experiments on the motion of kinesin-4 motors on antiparallel microtubule overlaps, we analyze a model incorporating the TASEP on two antiparallel lanes with binding kinetics and lane switching.- Hui-Shun Kuan's paper "Motor protein accumulation on antiparallel microtubule overlaps" was accepted by the Biophysical Journal.
