Principles of dormancy evident in high-grade serous ovarian cancer
In cancer, dormancy refers to a clinical state in which microscopic residual disease becomes non-proliferative and is largely refractory to chemotherapy.

The C. elegans embryo is a powerful model system for studying the mechanics of metazoan cell division. Its primary advantage is that the architecture of the syncytial gonad makes it possible to use RNAi to generate oocytes whose cytoplasm is reproducibly (typically >95%) depleted of targeted essential gene products via a process that does not depend ...

Cell Polarity from Cell Division [PDF]
Apical-basal polarity of epithelial cells is critical for their symmetric versus asymmetric division and commonly thought to be established in interphase. In a novel type of cell division termed "mirror-symmetric", apical cell constituents accumulate during M-phase at the cleavage furrow, resulting in epithelial daughter cells with opposite apical ...

Restriction beyond the restriction point: mitogen requirement for G2 passage
Cell proliferation is dependent on mitogenic signalling. When absent, normal cells cannot pass the G1 restriction point, resulting in cell cycle arrest.

Just like all matter, proteins can also switch between gas, liquid and solid phases. Protein phase transition has claimed the spotlight in recent years as a novel way of how cells compartmentalize and regulate biochemical reactions.

Background Nucleosome-localized sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) was found to function as an oncogene and tumor suppressor gene in different tumors. However, the clinical significance of SIRT4 in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) has not been assessed, nor has the ...

Kinesin-5 Eg5 is essential for spindle assembly and chromosome alignment of mouse spermatocytes
Background Microtubule organization is essential for bipolar spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, which contribute to genome stability. Kinesin-5 Eg5 is known to be a crucial regulator in centrosome separation and spindle assembly in mammalian ...

Protein arginine methylation: an emerging regulator of the cell cycle
Protein arginine methylation is a common post-translational modification where a methyl group is added onto arginine residues of a protein to alter detection by its binding partners or regulate its activity.

"Cullin 4 makes its mark on chromatin"
Cullin 4 (Cul4), a member of the evolutionally conserved cullin protein family, serves as a scaffold to assemble multisubunit ubiquitin E3 ligase complexes.

Polo-like kinase 4: the odd one out of the family
Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is a unique member of the Polo-like family of kinases that shares little homology with its siblings and has an essential role in centriole duplication.
