Geometrically Encoded Positioning of Introns, Intergenic Segments, and Exons in the Human Genome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
This study introduces a new hypothesis: exons, introns, and intergenic segments are non‐random projections of the functional layers of 3D structure of chromatin packing domains. Evidence is presented that this “geometric code” may encode volumetric structure, reconciling epigenetic patterns, correlates with oncogenic mutations, acting as a potential ...

Dynamic replacement of histone H3 variants reprograms epigenetic marks in early mouse embryos. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2011
Upon fertilization, reprogramming of gene expression is required for embryo development. This step is marked by DNA demethylation and changes in histone variant composition.

Temporal Stretch‐Induced Nuclear Mechanosensing Coordinates Early Chromatin Accessibility and Genome Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
Cyclic stretching of fibroblasts triggers coordinated nuclear mechanosensing events, including calcium ion release, perinuclear actin assembly, emerin translocation, and H3K9me3 loss, increasing chromatin accessibility for specific genes related to mechanotransduction and repair.

License to Replicate: Mechanisms of Licensing Eukaryotic Origins for DNA Replication

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Origin licensing constitutes the first step in initiating eukaryotic genome replication. Licensed origins are marked by an MCM double hexamer complex. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms of MCM double hexamer loading in yeast and higher eukaryotes, based on insights gained from biochemical reconstitution and structural analyses.

Compensatory motor neuron response to chromatolysis in the murine hSOD1G93A model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
We investigated neuronal self-defense mechanisms in a murine model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the transgenic hSOD1G93A, during both the asymptomatic and symptomatic stages.

Primed to Burst: Corepressors Coordinate Transcriptional Activation and Efficient Switching Between Cell States

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
We hypothesize that the TPL corepressor (and likely others) acts as a transcriptional linchpin, stabilizing a state similar yet distinct from the metazoan paused state by recruiting Mediator and other components needed to initiate and coordinate transcriptional bursts across multiple genes.

Exploring the Impact of In Ovo Injection of Flavonoid‐Based Aromatase Inhibitors on Gonadal Histology Differentiation in Ross 308 Broiler Chickens

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study aimed to evaluate the in ovo injection of nettle extract, mushroom extract and their mixture as natural anti‐aromatase on sex reversal, histological changes in ovaries and testes and carcass characteristics of Ross 308 broiler chickens. Sex differentiation in avian species A completely randomized block design used to allocate 500 fertilized ...

Mg 2+ -dependent ATPase activity in triatomine salivary glands (Heteroptera, Triatominae)

open access: yesIheringia: Série Zoologia, 2017
Mg2+-ATPase activity was detected in the three salivary glands of adult triatomines, males and females, of Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834) and Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister, 1835) (Heteroptera, Triatominae). A predominance of binucleated cells in D1

High Immunohistochemical Expression of SETD5 as a Candidate Pathological Factor for Dedifferentiation and Prognosis in Liposarcoma

open access: yesPathology International, Volume 76, Issue 1, January 2026.
SET domain containing 5 (SETD5), a chromatin regulator involved in adipocytic differentiation. However, its immunohistochemical expression and prognostic significance in liposarcoma remain unclear. In our study, SETD5 expression was markedly elevated in the dedifferentiated component of dedifferentiated liposarcoma compared to the well‐differentiated ...

Cytology and Microscopy: Immunolocalization of Covalently Modified Histone Marks on Barley Mitotic Chromosomes

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2016
Barley is a diploid inbreeding crop with a genome of 5 GB organized into seven chromosomes. The relatively low chromosome number and their large size make barley an excellent model for chromosome cytogenetic studies of large genome cereal crops ...
