Wang et al. show that low kinesin-14 motor processivity maximizes microtubule (MT) sliding velocity, while non-processive motors are better suited to anchoring nearly parallel MTs at their minus ends to form spindle poles. buff.ly/pdDXbhv
#OPENACCESS: Reflectin proteins form net charge density-tuned multiphase condensates that may facilitate spatial organization in squid skin Bragg lamellae.
