Blackwell R, Edelmaier C, Sweezy-Schindler O, Lamson A, Gergely Z, OToole E, et al.
Sci Adv . 2017 Jan; 3(1):e1601603. PMID: 28116355
Mitotic spindles use an elegant bipolar architecture to segregate duplicated chromosomes with high fidelity. Bipolar spindles form from a monopolar initial condition; this is the most fundamental construction problem that...

Blackwell R, Sweezy-Schindler O, Edelmaier C, Gergely Z, Flynn P, Montes S, et al.
Biophys J . 2016 Oct; 112(3):552-563. PMID: 27692365
Microtubule dynamic instability allows search and capture of kinetochores during spindle formation, an important process for accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. Recent work has found that microtubule rotational diffusion...

Ellimoottil C, Roghmann F, Blackwell R, Kadlec A, Greco K, Quek M, et al.
Curr Urol . 2016 Feb; 8(3):156-61. PMID: 26889136
Objectives: Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been shown to reduce blood loss, peri-operative complications and length of stay when compared to open radical prostatectomy (ORP). We sought to determine whether...

Gao T, Blackwell R, Glaser M, Betterton M, Shelley M
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2016 Jan; 92(6):062709. PMID: 26764729
Microtubules and motor proteins self-organize into biologically important assemblies including the mitotic spindle and the centrosomal microtubule array. Outside of cells, microtubule-motor mixtures can form novel active liquid-crystalline materials driven...

Kuan H, Blackwell R, Hough L, Glaser M, Betterton M
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2016 Jan; 92(6):060501. PMID: 26764616
Nonequilibrium active matter made up of self-driven particles with short-range repulsive interactions is a useful minimal system to study active matter as the system exhibits collective motion and nonequilibrium order-disorder...

Blackwell R, Sweezy-Schindler O, Baldwin C, Hough L, Glaser M, Betterton M
Soft Matter . 2016 Jan; 12(10):2676-87. PMID: 26742483
The cytoskeleton, despite comprising relatively few building blocks, drives an impressive variety of cellular phenomena ranging from cell division to motility. These building blocks include filaments, motor proteins, and static...

Gao T, Blackwell R, Glaser M, Betterton M, Shelley M
Phys Rev Lett . 2015 Feb; 114(4):048101. PMID: 25679909
Microtubules and motor proteins are building blocks of self-organized subcellular biological structures such as the mitotic spindle and the centrosomal microtubule array. These same ingredients can form new "bioactive" liquid-crystalline...

Helfand B, Manvar A, Auffenberg G, Blackwell R, Hartman R, McVary K
Can J Urol . 2010 Jun; 17(3):5190-4. PMID: 20566012
Objectives: To report the initial clinical experience using a hybrid technique combining holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP) and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for the treatment...

Tyler C, van Aerle R, Nilsen M, Blackwell R, Maddix S, Nilsen B, et al.
Environ Toxicol Chem . 2002 Jan; 21(1):47-54. PMID: 11804060
Vitellogenin (VTG) induction has proved to be a valuable biomarker for assessing exposure to environmental estrogens in fish. The widespread use of VTG in this regard has lead to the...
