PKMYT1 in Cancer: Beyond Cell Cycle Checkpoints to Context‐Dependent Therapeutic Vulnerability
ABSTRACT PKMYT1 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target distinguished by its tumor‐selective expression and essential role in replication stress management. Unlike WEE1, PKMYT1 is dispensable in normal cell cycles but critical for cancer cells coping with DNA damage, establishing a broad therapeutic window.

Cellular Senescence and Aging: Mechanisms, Disease Convergence, and Therapeutic Frontiers
This schematic illustrates the hierarchical and interconnected nature of the primary molecular hallmarks of aging. The progression of aging is driven by a convergence of intrinsic molecular insults. Within the nucleus, genomic instability and telomere attrition trigger persistent DDR, accompanied by extensive epigenetic alterations.

Evidence That Sri Lanka Is the Origin of a Rare Nematode Resistance Gene in Rice
ABSTRACT Meloidogyne graminicola is a destructive and widespread pest in tropical rice‐growing systems, whereas resistance in Oryza sativa remains exceptionally rare. A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with resistance has previously been identified at the distal end of chromosome 11 in the resistant varieties, LD 24 (Sri Lanka) and KPM ...

We identified a Mis4 cohesin loader mutant that is specifically defective in chromatin axis formation and homologous recombination while retaining normal sister chromatid cohesion. The mis4‐LR mutant, carrying the L1150S and R1159G amino acid substitutions, exhibited reduced interaction between Mis4 and Rec8, suggesting a meiosis‐specific role for the ...

Microgravity (μG) reduces mechanical tactile stimulation in Caenorhabditis elegans, causing neuromuscular decline, altered gene expression, synaptic defects, and accelerated aging phenotypes. The gentle‐touch mechanoreceptor MEC‐4 mediates μG‐induced body length reduction and extracellular matrix gene downregulation.

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 ...
