Therapeutic targeting of chromatin alterations in leukemia and solid tumors
Abstract Alterations in chromatin conformation and post‐translational modification of histones have become increasingly recognized as critical drivers of cancer development, progression, and therapy resistance. Recent advances in drug development have led to the establishment of several highly selective small molecule inhibitors, several of which are ...

Ex Vivo Spatiotemporal Characterization of Spermatogenesis in Mouse Testicular Organoids
To date, in vitro spermatogenesis remains a challenge in reproductive medicine. In this study, Sun et al. developed a promising in vitro strategy to generate testicular organoids that enable germ cells from newborn mice to enter meiosis, complete chromosome recombination and synapsis, and develop into haploid spermatids.

Zn‐Assisted Mg Ion Transport in Spinel Oxide Cathodes: Insights From Neural Network Simulations
ABSTRACT We investigated Mg insertion and ion transport in defect spinel MgxZnMnO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) using a neural network potential combined with molecular dynamics and genetic algorithm–based structure exploration. The diffusion coefficients showed a strong composition dependence: both stoichiometric spinel (x = 0.25) and rock‐salt (x = 1.0) exhibited ...

Meiotic double-strand break repair DNA synthesis tracts in Arabidopsis thaliana.
We report here the successful labelling of meiotic prophase I DNA synthesis in the flowering plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Incorporation of the thymidine analogue, EdU, enables visualisation of the footprints of recombinational repair of programmed ...

Rate of Adaptation in Large Sexual Populations
Adaptation often involves the acquisition of a large number of genomic changes which arise as mutations in single individuals. In asexual populations, combinations of mutations can fix only when they arise in the same lineage, but for populations in ...

The Origin of 2 Sexes Through Optimization of Recombination Entropy Against Time and Energy [PDF]
Sexual reproduction in Nature requires two sexes, which raises the question why the reproductive scheme did not evolve to have three or more sexes. Here we construct a constrained optimization model based on the communication theory to analyze trade-offs

Synthesis of amoxicillin: The reaction catalyzed by penicillin G acylase is investigated in an enzymatic reactor, considering both Michaelis–Menten and mechanism‐based models with reaction and equilibrium constants. Parameters are estimated via MCMC and Genetic Algorithm, with MCMC showing superior performance in validating the mathematical model in a ...

Mechanical Coupling With the Nuclear Envelope Shapes the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mitotic Spindle
ABSTRACT The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe divides via closed mitosis, meaning that spindle elongation and chromosome segregation transpire entirely within the closed nuclear envelope. Both the spindle and nuclear envelope must undergo shape changes and exert varying forces on each other during this process.
