Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

CEP162 is an axoneme-recognition protein promoting ciliary transition zone assembly at the cilia base [PDF]
The transition zone (TZ) is a specialized compartment found at the base of cilia, adjacent to the centriole distal end, where axonemal microtubules (MTs) are heavily cross-linked to the surrounding membrane to form a barrier that gates the ciliary ...

Cep57 and Cep57l1 function redundantly to recruit the Cep63–Cep152 complex for centriole biogenesis
The Cep63–Cep152 complex located at the mother centriole recruits Plk4 to initiate centriole biogenesis. How the complex is targeted to mother centrioles, however, is unclear.

The absence of both RIBC1 and RIBC2 induces decreased sperm motility and litter size in male mice
Abstract Background RIBC1 (RIB43A domain with coiled‐coils 1) and RIBC2 (RIB43A domain with coiled‐coils 2) are homolog proteins of RIB43a which is localized to microtubules in the cilia and flagella of unicellular organisms. Cryo‐electron microscopy and artificial intelligence studies showed that RIBC1 and RIBC2 are microtubule inner proteins (MIPs ...

A role for Separase in telomere protection [PDF]
Drosophila telomeres are elongated by transposition of specialized retroelements rather than telomerase activity and are assembled independently of the sequence. Fly telomeres are protected by the terminin complex that localizes and functions exclusively

Missense variants in TMEM17 disrupt its localization and function at the ciliary transition zone, leading to a wide range of ciliopathy phenotypes, from OFD6 and Joubert syndromes to Meckel syndrome. ABSTRACT Ciliopathies are rare genetic disorders characterized by significant genetic and phenotypic variability.

Centrosome structure, function, and number are finely regulated at the cellular level to ensure normal mammalian development. Here, we characterize PPP1R35 as a novel bona fide centrosomal protein and demonstrate that it is critical for centriole ...

Dynamic centriolar localization of Polo and Centrobin in early mitosis primes centrosome asymmetry.
Centrosomes, the main microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) of metazoan cells, contain an older "mother" and a younger "daughter" centriole. Stem cells either inherit the mother or daughter-centriole-containing centrosome, providing a possible mechanism

Role of Centriolar Matrix and Striated Rootlets in Centriolar Pairing and Orientation During Spermatogenesis in Hydractina echinata [PDF]
Transmission electron microscopy of the spermatogenic stages of the hydroid, Hydractinia echinata, reveals a series of complex structural and positional changes in the centrioles of spermatocytes and spermatids.

C-Nap1 mutation affects centriole cohesion and is associated with a Seckel-like syndrome in cattle [PDF]
Caprine-like Generalized Hypoplasia Syndrome (SHGC) is an autosomal-recessive disorder in Montbéliarde cattle. Affected animals present a wide range of clinical features that include the following: delayed development with low birth weight, hind limb ...
