Shi W, Cannon K, Curtis B, Edelmaier C, Gladfelter A, Nazockdast E
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2023 Jan; 120(6):e2208253120. PMID: 36716363
The ability of cells to sense and communicate their shape is central to many of their functions. Much is known about how cells generate complex shapes, yet how they sense...

Lauersdorf N, Kolb T, Moradi M, Nazockdast E, Klotsa D
Soft Matter . 2021 Jun; 17(26):6337-6351. PMID: 34128024
We study quasi two-dimensional, monodisperse systems of active Brownian particles (ABPs) for a range of activities, stiffnesses, and densities. We develop a microscopic, analytical method for predicting the dense phase...

Moradi M, Nazockdast E
Biophys J . 2021 Mar; 120(9):1542-1564. PMID: 33705756
Mechanical properties of the cell are important biomarkers for probing its architectural changes caused by cellular processes and/or pathologies. The development of microfluidic technologies has enabled measuring the cell's mechanical...

Nazockdast E, Redemann S
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2020 Aug; 107:91-102. PMID: 32747191
During mitosis microtubules self-organize to form a bipolar mitotic spindle structure, which positions the sister chromatids on the spindle mid-plane and separates them afterwards. Previous studies have identified many spindle...

Nazockdast E
Cytoskeleton (Hoboken) . 2019 Oct; 76(11-12):586-599. PMID: 31600850
Polymerization and depolymerization of cytoskeletal filaments against cellular structures can generate forces that are key to many cellular processes, such as cell motility and chromosomes movements during cell division. Motions...

Redemann S, Baumgart J, Lindow N, Shelley M, Nazockdast E, Kratz A, et al.
Nat Commun . 2017 May; 8:15288. PMID: 28492281
The mitotic spindle ensures the faithful segregation of chromosomes. Here we combine the first large-scale serial electron tomography of whole mitotic spindles in early C. elegans embryos with live-cell imaging...

Nazockdast E, Rahimian A, Needleman D, Shelley M
Mol Biol Cell . 2017 Mar; 28(23):3261-3270. PMID: 28331070
The proper positioning of mitotic spindle in the single-cell embryo is achieved initially by the migration and rotation of the pronuclear complex (PNC) and its two associated astral microtubules (MTs)....

Wu H, Nazockdast E, Shelley M, Needleman D
Bioessays . 2016 Dec; 39(2). PMID: 28026040
The position of the spindle determines the position of the cleavage plane, and is thus crucial for cell division. Although spindle positioning has been extensively studied, the underlying forces ultimately...
