[HTML][HTML] Mechanism of cytokinetic contractile ring constriction in fission yeast
MR Stachowiak, C Laplante, HF Chin, B Guirao… - Developmental cell, 2014 - cell.com
Cytokinesis involves constriction of a contractile actomyosin ring. The mechanisms generating
ring tension and setting the constriction rate remain unknown because the organization of …

Differential expression of the adhesion molecule Echinoid drives epithelial morphogenesis in Drosophila
C Laplante, LA Nilson - 2006 - journals.biologists.com
Epithelial morphogenesis requires cell movements and cell shape changes coordinated by
modulation of the actin cytoskeleton. We identify a role for Echinoid (Ed), an immunoglobulin …

Genetic transformation of Spizellomyces punctatus, a resource for studying chytrid biology and evolutionary cell biology
…, K Bellingham-Johnstun, G Ianiri, C Laplante… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Chytrids are early-diverging fungi that share features with animals that have been lost in
most other fungi. They hold promise as a system to study fungal and animal evolution, but we …
