Not all nuclei are the same. We went to biology’s most extreme nuclei

In vitro reconstitution is powerful: we rebuild Plasmodium microtubule architectures from purified components & recapitulate what cells actually do🤩

Thanks to the team that made this possible🙌 in particular Carolyn Moores @BirkbeckScience
