Prenatal Screening for Chromosomal Defects
Reproductive MedicineChromosomal defects are a significant cause of perinatal death and childhood disability, occurring in 3.6–6.0 per 1000 births in unscreened populations. Common chromosomal defects include trisomy 21, 18, and 13, triploidy, and sex chromosome abnormalities.

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

An Aurora kinase A-BOD1L1-PP2A B56 axis promotes chromosome segregation fidelity
Cell ReportsSummary: Cancer cells are often aneuploid and frequently display elevated rates of chromosome mis-segregation, called chromosomal instability (CIN).

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

LZTS2 Negatively Regulates Centrosomal CEP135 Levels and Microtubule Nucleation
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton is a fundamental functional component of the cell. In vertebrate proliferating cells, centrosomes are the primary microtubule organizing center (MTOC), and their dysregulation has been linked to genomic instability and cancer.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pollen is a male gametophyte of angiosperms. Following meiosis, the microspore undergoes an asymmetric division called pollen mitosis I (PMI), which produces two cells of different sizes: a large vegetative cell and a small generative cell. Polarized nuclear migration and positioning during PMI are important for successful pollen development ...
