Our latest research in collaboration with @nilssonlab.bsky.social, @andrea-musacchio.bsky.social and Mathieu Bollen reveals a new regulatory strategy employed by cells to control PP1 in mitosis. Check it out in @currentbiology.bsky.social

Polo kinase inhibits protein phosphatase 1 to promote the spindle assembly checkpoint and prevent aneuploidy
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is essential for spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) silencing and mitotic exit, but its regulation during mitosis remains i…
