February 23, 2010 meeting

Lauren Matthews will be presenting at our next meeting.
Two things to note for this meeting:
TIME -
12:00 noon (we have switched from our 12:30 start time)
PLACE -
E6519 (but just for this meeting)

And of course, also the paper! Lauren will be presenting:
Spindle Positioning in Mouse Oocytes Relies on a Dynamic Meshwork of Actin Filaments
Current Biology, 18: 1514-1519
Azoury et al.

Her comment on why she picked this:
"I like this paper because it focuses on how mouse oocytes position their spindle during meiosis. While it is well known that actin is required for spindle positioning, this group was the first to visualize the presence of a cytoplasmic actin meshwork in live mouse oocytes. Cool techniques coupled with some great egg biology = an awesome paper!"
